Re: libpq not reentrant

We use autoconf for configure.  I like the idea of using the thread-safe
crypt if available, though it does confuse things because it makes
thread-safeness contingent of SSL being installed.  I question whether
it is just easier to say it isn't thread-safe because I am not sure how
someone is going to easily know if it is or isn't threadsafe for a
specific install.
