I wish there was a way for a thread to asynchronously notify the main

for a pipe into the gtk event loop and poke data into the pipe from
the thread. It's incredibly efficient and saves all the waiting and
polling. I've not worked out how to do this on OSX or Win32 yet though.
If you use the timeout parameter from CheckSynchronize, you do get that
effect (if you pass high(longint) as timeout, then you only "poll" if
nothing happened for 2^31 miliseconds, which is about 24 days).
Err. yeah, but doesn't checksynchronize block until either an event or the
timeout?
I'd have thought that would destroy your GUI interactivity.
