It is unlikely that I will ever find the time to do this, despite the
fact that it is the most-requested feature in any piece of software I
have ever written. I urge you (and Frank, and others that have gone
down this path) to consider completing a thread-safe signals/slots
library and submitting it to Boost. If you maintain (or nearly
maintain) the Signals interface, I would be thrilled make your thread-
safe implementation into Signals version 2, completely replacing the
existing version.
Cheers,
Doug
