Re: Interrupt

[David Sugar]

One way to do this is to sleep the thread on a "conditional", and then use a 
signal to "wake" it early.  This of course only works on pthread/posix 
systems.  The nearest equiv. in w32 is to use a timed semaphore wait, but 
that is not supported in pthreads :).  I suppose we could construct an 
alrernate sleep object that uses one or the other method based on the target, 
like was done for the Buffer class....
