    	Write a "test-profile" that does echo client-server with threads;
    	profile reveals lock contention, memcpy/realloc of buffers, and
    	UTF-8 validation as hot spots. 20% of lock contention eliminated
    	with dbus_atomic_inc/dec implementation on x86.  Much remaining
    	contention is global mempool locks for GList and DBusList.
    
    	* dbus/dbus-sysdeps.c (_dbus_atomic_inc, _dbus_atomic_dec): add
    	x86 implementation
    
    	* dbus/dbus-connection.c (struct DBusConnection): use
    	dbus_atomic_t for the reference count
    
    	* dbus/dbus-message.c (struct DBusMessage): declare
    	dbus_atomic_t values as volatile
    
    	* configure.in: code to detect ability to use atomic integer
    	operations in assembly, from GLib patch
    
    	* dbus/dbus-internals.c (_dbus_verbose_real): call getpid every
    	time, tired of it being wrong in threads and forked processes
    
    	* glib/test-profile.c: a little program to bounce messages back
    	and forth between threads and eat CPU
    
    	* dbus/dbus-connection.c: add debug spew macros for debugging
    	thread locks; include config.h at top; fix deadlock in
    	dbus_connection_flush()
