This introduces make variable NO_PTHREADS for platforms that lack the
support for pthreads library or people who do not want to use it for
whatever reason.  When defined, it makes the multi-threaded index
preloading into a no-op, and also disables threaded delta searching by
pack-objects.

Ack. Makes sense.

I'd be minded to make this the default on AIX to keep the prerequisite
list as small as possible, then people can opt-in for the performance
benefits if required.

I'll wait a little while to see if anyone else reports the same for
other platforms and then submit a patch.

Thanks.

I expect to be slow this week til just before Thanksgiving, so the more
people we have to keep an eye on the areas they excel at, the better for
all of us and certainly it would help me a lot.
