Bug 2955. Workaround for lack of atomic operations in GCCE standard libraries (fall back to default use of Mutex)

Packaging Libmng for distribution
---------------------------------

These are some notes for those building binaries for distribution.

We're interested to hear about anywhere libmng is helpful, so let us
know if you're including it with your application or OS. Also, if your
build is publicly accessible, we'd be happy to link to it from
the libmng site.

However, We respectfully request that you *not* distribute binaries as a
shared library (DLL) with any of the major features disabled. While
there is support for this in terms of #ifdef directives (in
libmng_conf.h) and autoconf switches they are intended for embedded
application and testing. The default compilation options support the
full MNG specification, and we wish to avoid the confusion among
general users that partial support would engender.


Platform specific notes:

We have a basic .spec file for generating rpms. Send us a note if you'd
like to clean it up.
