1. Make sure everything is thread safe.
I think it will be ok after putting JavaInfo in thread
local storage, but more eyes on a problem always help.
2. Use Tcl threaded notifier instead of the current hack.
I think we just need to add a TclThread filed to the
tcl.lang.Interp and set it during the Interp init.
We then use that TclThread pointer to wake up
the Tcl Notifier in the other thread.
3. Incr and Decr objects in the Tcl way, instead of trying
to garbage collect dangling pointers.
This one is going to be painful, but it needs to be
done. I have a "sort of" working patch, but there is
a lot left to do (tracking down the missing incr/decr calls).
There is some other stuff, but these are the major pieces.
