Subject: [Bordeaux-threads-devel] Basically, I suck (LW patch)

Matt wrote this nice patch to add condition-variables for LispWorks,  
and I never  got it merged. I'm gone for the weekend, then switching  
jobs next week, then gone in Pittsburgh, then to Europe. I'm afraid if  
it's left to me, this will never get in.

The only thing from my perspective that should change is that the unit- 
test-lw-conditions function should be moved into the test suite (as it  
should work just fine for any impl) so everyone gets the benefit.  
Stelian has a much better view of the state of BT these days than I do.
