+// QUICK DOCUMENTATION 
+//		
+//				(see also the full documentation at http://sigslot.sourceforge.net/)
+//
+//		#define switches
+//			SIGSLOT_PURE_ISO			- Define this to force ISO C++ compliance. This also disables
+//										  all of the thread safety support on platforms where it is 
+//										  available.
+//
+//			SIGSLOT_USE_POSIX_THREADS	- Force use of Posix threads when using a C++ compiler other than
+//										  gcc on a platform that supports Posix threads. (When using gcc,
+//										  this is the default - use SIGSLOT_PURE_ISO to disable this if 
+//										  necessary)
+//
+//			SIGSLOT_DEFAULT_MT_POLICY	- Where thread support is enabled, this defaults to multi_threaded_global.
+//										  Otherwise, the default is single_threaded. #define this yourself to
+//										  override the default. In pure ISO mode, anything other than
+//										  single_threaded will cause a compiler error.
+//
+//		PLATFORM NOTES
+//
+//			Win32						- On Win32, the WIN32 symbol must be #defined. Most mainstream
+//										  compilers do this by default, but you may need to define it
+//										  yourself if your build environment is less standard. This causes
+//										  the Win32 thread support to be compiled in and used automatically.
+//
+//			Unix/Linux/BSD, etc.		- If you're using gcc, it is assumed that you have Posix threads
+//										  available, so they are used automatically. You can override this
+//										  (as under Windows) with the SIGSLOT_PURE_ISO switch. If you're using
+//										  something other than gcc but still want to use Posix threads, you
+//										  need to #define SIGSLOT_USE_POSIX_THREADS.
+//
+//			ISO C++						- If none of the supported platforms are detected, or if
+//										  SIGSLOT_PURE_ISO is defined, all multithreading support is turned off,
+//										  along with any code that might cause a pure ISO C++ environment to
+//										  complain. Before you ask, gcc -ansi -pedantic won't compile this 
+//										  library, but gcc -ansi is fine. Pedantic mode seems to throw a lot of
+//										  errors that aren't really there. If you feel like investigating this,
+//										  please contact the author.
+//
+//		
+//		THREADING MODES
+//
+//			single_threaded				- Your program is assumed to be single threaded from the point of view
+//										  of signal/slot usage (i.e. all objects using signals and slots are
+//										  created and destroyed from a single thread). Behaviour if objects are
+//										  destroyed concurrently is undefined (i.e. you'll get the occasional
+//										  segmentation fault/memory exception).
+//
+//			multi_threaded_global		- Your program is assumed to be multi threaded. Objects using signals and
+//										  slots can be safely created and destroyed from any thread, even when
+//										  connections exist. In multi_threaded_global mode, this is achieved by a
+//										  single global mutex (actually a critical section on Windows because they
+//										  are faster). This option uses less OS resources, but results in more
+//										  opportunities for contention, possibly resulting in more context switches
+//										  than are strictly necessary.
+//
+//			multi_threaded_local		- Behaviour in this mode is essentially the same as multi_threaded_global,
+//										  except that each signal, and each object that inherits has_slots, all 
+//										  have their own mutex/critical section. In practice, this means that
+//										  mutex collisions (and hence context switches) only happen if they are
+//										  absolutely essential. However, on some platforms, creating a lot of 
+//										  mutexes can slow down the whole OS, so use this option with care.
+//
