the TOC looks very good. regarding info in the slides - i think that the
example project's files are under-commented for such an introduction. for
example, in the 'configure.in', the following chunk:

dnl Process this file with autoconf to produce a configure script.
AC_INIT(rwlock.c)

there's no explanation about the parameter to this macro, and this macro
does nto seem to appear in the rest of the slides.

the same goes for other parts of this file - at least add a shortish (few
words) explanation for each parameter to the macros. otherwise, it indeed
appears as 'black magic'. another possibility - refer to the manual that
explains these macros (but this will make the slides less self-contained).
