- More information on libs used

- amended Makefile to make the stock glibmm thread test compile
- amended Makefile in assumption that compile will fail too when source files are given at wrong position
- add thread.cc from the glibmm example directory (good test to see all is fine)
- fixed test.cpp (but doesn't compile yet)
