Should the new threading configure option be called:

	--enable-thread-safeness

or 

	--enable-thread-safety

or something else?  Someone was asking me about the validity of the word
safeness.

safety is a common word, safeness isn't.  (The OED has entries for both,
but the entry for safety is about 10x longer; a smaller dictionary I
consulted doesn't list safeness at all.)
