[gambit-list] Multithreading

Hi!

Ok, I know this has been asked before.

What are the perspectives of Gambit supporting native threading?

I remember that Marc made some tests to see how much the code performance
would be affected due to global variables access indirection. However,
native threading, at least basic facilities, are a must for programming
languagues nowadays. Termite, IPC or network can't be really used for
things like games.

I think this is a hard problem, of course, and if I would be of any help
I'd like to, although I don't have much experience implementing compilers
myself.

Thanks,

Álvaro
