Could you submit the thread.o double inclusion patch
separately? It's much less controversial.

I like the idea of building Python as a shared lib, but I'm
hesitant to add more code to an already super complex area
of the configuration and build process.

I need more reviewers. Maybe the submitter can get some
other developers to comment?

P.S. it would be better if you used the current CVS or at
least the final 2.2 release as a basis for your patch.
