Depending on what version you use, the option has been renamed
--enable-mpi-thread-multiple.
Anyhow, there is widespread concern whether the support is robust. The
support is known to be limited and the performance poor.

Before I go ahead and add "--enable-mpi-threads" to our standard
configure flags, is there any reason it's disabled by default, please?
I'm a bit puzzled, as this default seems in conflict with whole "Law
of Least Astonishment" thing. Have I missed some disaster that's going
to happen?
