+If you want to use @acronym{GPGME} with threads, you must link to the
+right version of the library.  The name of the right library is
+@code{libgpgme-} followed by the name of the thread package you use.
+For example, if you use GNU Pth, the right name is
+@code{libgpgme-pth}.  Use the Automake macros or
+@command{gpgme-config} program for simplicity.
