It's this release of EFL, that is in alpha now, that I'll be using for
this project.  That's why I was gung ho enough to implement the lua
stuff I did for it.

Your future thread work wont impact this current project, or the next
one for the same client that I know is coming soon (assuming he can find
the funding).  If there is some even more distant future project that
I'm not aware of where this might be a problem, then I'll either suck
it up and cope, or use an old EFL release.  B-)
