Subject: [ANN] win32-thread 0.0.1 (or, do you feel lucky?)

Hi all,

I've released the highly experimental first version of win32-thread.
This code is ultra-alpha, and has already been banned in 37 countries.
Oh, but not yours.

What is it?
===========
A probably-naive attempt to wrap native Win32 threads for Ruby.

Where is it?
============
You can find in on the RAA or on the Win32Utils project page at
http://www.rubyforge.org/projects/win32utils.

What's wrong with it?
=====================
It only works for simple cases.  Attempting to create more than one
native thread causes application errors and/or segfaults.  Not too
useful at the moment, but barrels of fun.  Good at parties.

So why did you put it out?
==========================
For kicks mainly, and for brave folks to tinker with.  I'm also hoping
someone out there smarter than me might take a look and find a way to
make it better. :)

Enjoy!
