Bug#566933: Enable threads support for xaos

["Vincent" <vincent.stehle@laposte.net>]

Package: xaos
Version: 3.4-1
Severity: wishlist


In Debian Lenny, XaoS is compiled without thread support. Nowadays, SMP systems are more and more common, which makes me think thread support in XaoS makes sense.

'xaos -h' output extract:

 -threads        number
                  Multiple CPUs unsupported - please recompile XaoS with threads enabled
