+Thread support with ocamlc and ocaml
+====================================
+
+Both Core and Core_extended require thread support. To enable it for programs
+you're building you can use findlib and pass -thread to ocamlc, e.g.:
+
+  $ ocamlfind ocamlc -thread -package core -libkpkg foo.ml
+
+To experiment with Core in the top-level you can use the #thread directive just
+before #require-ing Core, e.g.:
+
+  zack at usha:~$ ledit ocaml -init /dev/null
+          Objective Caml version 3.11.1
+
+  # #use "topfind";;
+  - : unit = ()
+  Findlib has been successfully loaded. Additional directives:
+    #require "package";;      to load a package
+    #list;;                   to list the available packages
+    #camlp4o;;                to load camlp4 (standard syntax)
+    #camlp4r;;                to load camlp4 (revised syntax)
+    #predicates "p,q,...";;   to set these predicates
+    Topfind.reset();;         to force that packages will be reloaded
+    #thread;;                 to enable threads
+
+  - : unit = ()
