-Notes for 1.9.9 release
-=======================
-
-The OpenThreads/include and /src directories have now been merged 
-directly into the OpenSceneGraph distribution. This means that you 
-don't need to download, compile or install OpenThreads separately 
-anymore. You can remove any external OpenThreads from your system.
