Great! Our project has been waiting on this too.

It's not so easy for users of lcms to decide whether the installed
version is thread-safe. And I think lcms.pc needs to know about this
too: it should add -lpthreads to the library line, and possibly
-D_REENTRANT to the cflags.

How about testing for threads in configure.in (with a switch to turn
off threads if required) and if they are found, setting
LCMS_THREADSAFE (for example). I used to use the ACX_PTHREAD macro
when I had my own thread wrapper, perhaps there's something better
now. I could try to make a patch if you like.

Another solution would be to use a thread wrapper library like
gthread, though of course I can understand reluctance to make another
dependency.
