+ Threads and the JAVA VM
+================================================================================
+
+For a quick tour on how Linux native threads interoperate with the JAVA VM, take
+a look here: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/jni.html
+If you want to use threads in your SDL app, it's strongly recommended that you
+do so by creating them using SDL functions. This way, the required attach/detach
+handling is managed by SDL automagically. If you have threads created by other
+means and they make calls to SDL functions, make sure that you call
+Android_JNI_SetupThread before doing anything else otherwise SDL will attach
+your thread automatically anyway (when you make an SDL call), but it'll never
+detach it.
