I think the decision was wrong. I think neither makes
sense as default. I mean, it depends on the application
whether single or multi threading is required. So why 
not build single _and_ multi threaded libs. Just like 
the default build results in 'debug' and 'release' libs. 

Concerning Linux. I want to copy the libs to /usr/local/lib
so I can conveniently link against them. This basically
means the four variants should have different names.
(actually, I think by default a debug build is useless, 
so I don't care if debug and release libs will have the
same names).
