MT safety

[Richard B. Kreckel]

Since people here have been pondering about this issue lately: the design
document <http://www.sgi.com/Technology/STL/thread_safety.html> applies to
GCC's templates as well.  IIUC this looks rather sound, the worst thing
thus being our refcounting.  How do I do a portable spin-lock?

Regards
