For the time being, I haven't given disabling threading much
attention. There is just an additional optional argument ASYNC for the
find-file-* functions and friends.

But yes, when it will be ready for merge into master, it must be
possible to disable this in general. Debugging is one example, an Emacs
configured --without-threads another one.

Best regards, Michael.
