-dnl
-dnl This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX
-dnl threads. It sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads
-dnl library and linker flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable
-dnl to any special C compiler flags that are needed. (The user can also
-dnl force certain compiler flags/libs to be tested by setting these
-dnl environment variables.)
-dnl
-dnl Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for
-dnl multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise).
-dnl (This is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.)
-dnl
-dnl If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to
-dnl use these variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:
-dnl
-dnl LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"
-dnl CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"
-dnl CC="$PTHREAD_CC"
-dnl
-dnl In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute
-dnl constant has a nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE
-dnl to that name (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).
-dnl
-dnl ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads
-dnl library is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# ACX_PTHREAD([ACTION-IF-FOUND[, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX threads.
+# It sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads library and
+# linker flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable to any special
+# C compiler flags that are needed. (The user can also force certain
+# compiler flags/libs to be tested by setting these environment
+# variables.)
+#
+# Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for
+# multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise).
+# (This is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.)
+#
+# NOTE: You are assumed to not only compile your program with these
+# flags, but also link it with them as well. e.g. you should link
+# with $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS
+# $LIBS
+#
+# If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to use
+# these variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:
+#
+# LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"
+# CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"
+# CC="$PTHREAD_CC"
+#
+# In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute
+# constant has a nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE to
+# that name (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).
+#
+# ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads
+# library is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands to
+# run it if it is not found. If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified, the
+# default action will define HAVE_PTHREAD.
+#
+# Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform, or
+# if you have any other suggestions or comments. This macro was based
+# on work by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (http://www.fftw.org/)
+# (with help from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread
+# macros posted by Alejandro Forero Cuervo to the autoconf macro
+# repository. We are also grateful for the helpful feedback of
