Yes, I use Linux on a Dual Processor PII system, so it would be nice for me
as well....  :)

I think what I will attempt as a first pass is to implement Oakwood
Coroutines using a call out to pthread_create, but implement a global
spinlock mutex to prevent more than one simultaneous thread from executing
at a time.  Should be simple to implement and reasonably portable.  Sound
ok?
