Did that on Unix, too. Cleanest way there. Later switched to threads.

Anyway. *If* (and only if) you cross your heart and swear to die if you
should fail to integrate patches then (and only then) I'd be willing to
give it a try to get your babe running on the Mac cleanly (no promises,
I would first look at it and if it needs a whole lot of discipline on
your behalf in the future not to break the Mac compatibility then I
won't do this).
