Further (broken) argus-2.0.0 patches

[Carter Bullard]

Gentle People,
   Here is a distribution that has incorporated fixes
for all the FreeBSD issues, so far.  I made the -pthread
compiler option specific for freebsd4.x, because of
Neil's mail.  Try it out.  It should work?

   It has a reworked ./configure and Makefile.in files.
It also has a few bugs fixed and a few new features, so
you should shift to this version.

Carter

	Hmmm, interesting. On 4.1 RELEASE (which I'm running) there is a linker
flag -pthread that has been added to switch libc to libcr (which contains
the
threaded librarys). Does the 3.5 pthread man page have a section like this
in
it (because if not there may need to be different changes for the older
versions (-:)?

"
INSTALLATION
     The current FreeBSD POSIX thread implementation is built in the library
     libc_r which contains both thread-safe libc functions and the thread
     functions.  This library replaces libc for threaded applications.

     By default, libc_r is built as part of a 'make world'.  To disable the
     build of libc_r you must supply the '-DNOLIBC_R' option to make(1).

     A FreeBSD specific option has been added to gcc to make linking
threaded
     processes simple.  gcc -pthread links a threaded process against libc_r
     instead of libc.
