I am currently developing a LGPL'ed thick binding for sockets in my spare
time.  The purpose of this binding is to provide better control of sockets
in a multi-tasking environment.  For example the binding will manually block
the procedure calls on protected object thus allowing tasks blocks on reads
to be aborted if necessary (this is opposed to allowing the OS to block each
task).  Another feature I plan on including is an event queue type that will
allow programs to manage a large number of sockets.  Does anyone have any
interests in using such a binding.  My first release will be for Win32
platforms, but I am planning on developing a Unix port after I am done with
the Win32 version.
