	mono/io-layer/threads.c, mono/io-layer/timed-thread.c,

	mono/metadata/appdomain.c, mono/metadata/class.c,
	mono/metadata/domain.c, mono/metadata/gc.c,
	mono/metadata/object.c, mono/metadata/reflection.c,
	mono/metadata/threads.c, mono/os/gc_wrapper.h,
	mono/utils/mono-hash.c: Add a new header, gc_wrapper.h, to
	wrap inclusion of gc.h for boehm, since from FreeBSD and
	OpenBSD ports, gc.h is <gc.h>, but on GNU it seems to be
	in <gc/gc.h>.  This will reduce the diffs FreeBSD ports has
	to apply, and also makes it possible for me to build with
	GC on OpenBSD/macppc built by hand.

2002-09-01  Juli Mallett  <[email protected]>

	* configure.in: On BSD don't try to use -ldl, we simply don't use it.

2002-09-01  Juli Mallett  <[email protected]>

	* mono/dis/dis-cil.c:
	* configure.in: Check for <wchar.h> via autoconf, don't use it if
	it isn't there, as it seems to work fine without it on OpenBSD.

2002-08-28  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

	* mono/os/win32/util.c: 
	* mono/os/unix/util.c: 
	* mono/os/util.h: mono_set_rootdir() doesnt take any args now.
	(It doesn't do anything on unix builds, and the w32 version no
	longer needs an arg.)

	and for using nant to re-compile just the System.Data.dll assembly

	PostgreSQL DBMS under cygwin.  It is a TODO for Linux though.
	Also included notes on running the System.Data/Test/PostgresTest.cs

	(specifically, glibc 2.1 doesnt define pthread_mutex_timedlock but
	still needs _GNU_SOURCE for PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE)

2001-11-09  Dick Porter  <[email protected]>

	* configure.in: Try and get large file support, but it's not fatal
	if it's not there (the io-layer just ignores the high word in that
	case.)

	Check for windows builds, and only bother to look for pthreads and
	large files if we're not building for cygwin or native win32.  Not
	having pthread support on Posix systems is now a fatal error.

	* autogen.sh: Fix ACLOCAL_FLAGS - it wasn't being passed to
	aclocal

	make test for the usual regression test checks.

2001-08-22  Rodrigo Moya <[email protected]>

	* mono/cil/Makefile.am:
	* mono/wrapper/Makefile.am: use correct variables for installation
	directories

Tue Aug 21 18:54:06 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <[email protected]>

	* mono/tests/exceptions*: enhanced and added more tests for
	exceptions.

2001-08-20  Miguel de Icaza  <[email protected]>
