(I have decided to leave them in for a while... :-)

No, all functions will be there, but they wont do much. I.e., you can
create mutexes and lock them, but you can't create new threads.

Yes, this restriction has been lifted already. The remaining
restriction is that only threads created by Guile itself are allowed
to call Guile. I hope to remove that restriction as well. Also, I
hope to make thigns so that any thread can initialize Guile.

I'll come back to you about this. Is your patch finished?
