There is no easy way: all Haskell's thread run in the same process
and wait() blocks the whole process.
The only (or the only portable) way is to call wait() with WNOHANG
repeatedly in a thread and threadDelay for a short period of time
between calls.
This is what OCaml runtime does. It provides waiting for a process
as a threading primitive. It accounts for waiting in its select()
loop in the scheduler.
