TimeoutController is meant to interrupt(timeout) a process that takes more than a specific amount of time. It is used in HttpClient in one case to timeout opening a socket, as this is not natively supported pre JRE 1.4.

Looks interesting to me. I think we should not hold up progress on 2.0, but work toward putting in TimeoutController somewhere along the line.

Lang developers,
I know that Lang 2.0 is oing to be 'finished' but I'd like to propose to add TimeoutController[1] somewhere into Lang codebase.
It's very simple but useful class and Lang is (as I know Commons packages) is the best location for such code.
Also I think that such addition will follow the HttpClient developers idea of moving not directly HttpClient related code into separate package.
