When will we get a new thread implementation, then? :-)

Seriously, could you outline how these things are implemented on other
platforms to avoid blocking the entire process? Why can't this trick be used
on the windows platform? I'd like to help if I can in any way.

Another question - is true thread safety on the TODO list for ruby? Oh and
this begs the third question: Is there a release plan for ruby? I would love
to know what kind of goodies I can expect for future releases?

Cheers,
