What is the "?* In glibc */" for?
This page records different versions of cfree.
Like cfree in SunOS 4, SCO OpenServer, glibc and so on.
I just can confirm thread safety of cfree in glibc.
So, I added a comment to help users understand which cfree 
I'm declaring.

Did I miss something or any good ideas?
Oh -- I see what you mean, Ma Shimiao. I did not look at
the whole page--it's a strange page indeed, and your
choice seems reasonable.

Thanks,

Michael
