There are several ways you could do this. These two functions could be in separate 
processes, they could be threads, or you could implement them both in the same 
thread. Eric Christianson recently committed a modified version of the client library 
that supports threading.

I think it depends on where the data is coming from. The periodically refreshed 
variables could be handled using a pgSetIdle handler. If the other text is coming from 
an file descriptor, you could use pgCustomizeSelect to notify you when data comes 
in.
