<a name="2"></a><p> When TQt is installed on Windows, thread support is an option on some
compilers.
-<p> On Mac OS X and Unix, thread support is enabled by adding the
-<tt>-thread</tt> option when running the <tt>configure</tt> script. On Unix
-platforms where multithreaded programs must be linked in special ways,
-such as with a special libc, installation will create a separate
-library, <tt>libtqt-mt</tt> and hence threaded programs must be linked
-against this library (with <tt>-ltqt-mt</tt>) rather than the standard TQt
-library.
-<p> On both platforms, you should compile with the macro <tt>TQT_THREAD_SUPPORT</tt> defined (e.g. compile with
-<tt>-DTQT_THREAD_SUPPORT</tt>). On Windows, this is usually done by an
-entry in <tt>ntqconfig.h</tt>.
+<p> On Mac OS X and Unix, thread support is enabled by default on platforms which
+support it. It might be disabled by adding the <tt>-no-thread</tt> option when
+running the <tt>configure</tt> script. Due to historical reasons on Unix platforms,
+installation will create a separate library, <tt>libtqt-mt</tt> and hence threaded
