Description Hanno Böck gentoo-dev

Recently guile-2 got added to the tree which depends on boehm-gc with threads enabled. This makes me wonder whether boehm-gc should enable threads by default (aka IUSE="+threads").

guile is required by relatively central packages (e.g. it's an indirect dependency of git), therefore I think it would be good if it'd compile with default settings and no further use flag adjustments.
