Before XlibConf.h, XTHREADS was never defined when Xprt #included Xrm.c,
since nothing in Xprt's Imakefile defined it.  Since XlibConf.h moved the
XTHREAD definition from command line flag set in Makefile to #include'd
file that is the same for the entire tree, XTHREADS is now defined where
it wasn't before.   (For anything that links against libX11, that's a good
thing.   For anything that tries to #include libX11 sources directly, it
can be a problem, but that's what you get from such underhanded hackery.)
