I thought the main reason lightweight threads got used was because at
that time, Gnash's configure code wasn't finding the library. This got
fixed though, and as far as I can tell, it works fine. So I agree, we
should use "real" mutexes. There are other Boost things we will want to
be using, like date-time, etc.. so we might as well start using Boost in
it's full glory. :-)
While we're at it, there is a bunch of usages of Pthreads mutexes and
threads that should probably be changed.
