OK, only Unixware and OpenBSD went red on the buildfarm with threading
enabled, so I have applied the more complete patch to enable thread
safety on clients by default, e.g. doc changes.

Andrew Dunstan is going to contact those build farm members so they use
--disable-thread-safety.  He has also agreed to update the buildfarm to
detect this new option behavior.
