So that anything that #includes the header is guaranteed that the
thread stuff will have been initialized.  This is a common C++ idiom; it's
even used by many iostream implementaitons.

I don't understand you.  Your patch just moves the line from the header
into the .cc files, which is unmaintainable.  Why is it useful?
