Not very well, but perhaps it can at least be supported under
UNIXish environments.

Thanks for the patch, Jörg. I'll have to study the scheduler a bit
to make any changes to it (I haven't done for a while). Please
have some patience - many fundamental things in chicken
are currently undergoing heavy changes (macros, modules,
chicken-setup) and this will take some time to get stable.
I promise to review this patch.


cheers,
