Version_0 is the current release branch. The other ones are
experimental and pure-ruby branches. The obvious way to do a
connection pool would be with Ruby's thread-safe Queue object. You
could pull a connection off when you needed one and do the work with
EventMachine#defer. If this doesn't make any sense, please let me
know. It's probably worth having a connection pool implemented in a
standard way in the library itself.
