Hi!

I've examined the nsthread library as in AOLserver 4.0 and
it seems to me that this piece of code can be re-rwritten to
use Tcl thread wrappers. This would ease the task of people
doing AOLserver ports on Windows, since most of the work
for that platform has already been done in Tcl itself.

After peeking arround in nsthread/*.[ch] I'm pretty sure that
most of the functionality can be implemented with existing
Tcl thread wrappers. Some dusty condition-variable corners
are still not handled in Tcl, but this should be relatively
easy to implement and build into the Tcl.

I would like to get some opinions from AOLserver core
developers about this issue. Would it make sense to you?
Are there some hidden problems I've overlooked there?

Many thanks,
Zoran Vasiljevic
