In case my thread safety stuff breaks on certain architectures (it is 
streamlined for POSIX threads and I was very aware of the possibility of 
problems in this area) the suggested solution is to write an 
"instantiation" of the rrd_thread_safe.c file for the used thread package. 

Being able to use other thread implementations/APIs was the reason to
provide rrd_thread_safe.c and rrd_not_thread_safe.c in order to make this
as modular as possible.

Selection of the proper module to use for the thread package should of
course be taken care of through the configure script.


I wonder: does the non-thread safe version work for those compiling on 
Win32? If it does, a proper rrd_thread_safe_win32.c should do the trick, 
as this should be the only difference between thread-safe and 
non-thread-safe versions.
