If not, then why do we have the extra "IFDEF UseCThreads" define in
the uses clause?
So, it won't be added by default. Don't add it, if you don't need it
(or any or you required packages).
But why not add it by default? Windows for example has multi-threading
support compiled in, even if you use multi-threading or not in your
application. This applied to Delphi and Kylix as far as I know.
Multithreading means that all strings access need critical sections.
So adding cthreads will deccelerate your application, even if you do
not start any thread.

Why not do the same for unix-type OSes? I don't understand the reasoning
to not include it by default. Does it add such a lot to the executable
file size? Does it add extra dependencies on libraries that might not
exist in standard installs - though far as I know Posix is available in
ANY unix-type OS like Linux, *BSD etc...
