Condition Variables, third race

Hi!

Time to check out D again...

I saw Graham St Jack's post in February about condition variables
(http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/34392.html),
and I just want to give the reason it never got into D/Phobos.

My first question about CVs is in a post from early December. I coded 
the solution linked to in the February post in mid-December. However,
the reason it never got any further was:

  1) I have no idea what the proper way of submitting patches are.
  2) Walter actually answered; but only with "I'm not using it, so I
     don't know if it's correct"
  3) David Friedman told me he would test it, but I never heard from him.
  4) No one else seemed interested.

It is still my (and now it seems, Graham's) highest belief that D won't 
be a major language until we have something comparable to Java's 
excellent built-in threading support.
