Re: [CLucene-dev] multithreads

[Ben v. K. <be...@vi...>]

I agree, I'm all with simplicity on this one. There's no need to go adding
libraries that are not completelly necessary. I'll have a go using macros...
and if someone could test it on linux :)

I'll put up Jimmy's linux scripts soon. I had to make a few changes, as
visual studio wouldn't compile. I won't make a release, so if you guys would
test on linux, and i'll test with cygwin.

Thanks,
ben
