Configure --with-thread

[Paul Robinson]

Two quick questions:
1) In the README included with py152.tgz the description of configuring
thread support says the following:
	(Threads aren't enabled automatically
	because there are run-time penalties when support for them is
	compiled in even if you don't use them.)

so, firstly is this correct and up-to-date? (I ask because the
description of how to enable the module is slightly out of date)
and if so: what kind of run-time penalties are we talking about?

2) Does anyone know which (if any) current (and recent) Linux
distributions have thread support configured for Python by default?

Thanks,
	Paul.
