Announce: The General Proxy Kit (GPK)

[Scott Dybiec <sdybiec humanfactor com>]

The General Proxy Kit or GPK is an add-on library to permit thread-safe
access to GTK. It is used in conjunction with POSIX threads and GTK
0.99.1 and higher.

GPK was developed as a solution for a GTK-based application I am writing
for measuring web server performance. By its nature, the application is
heavily threaded and individual threads need to make "real time" updates
to the GUI as it progresses.

GPK turns the main GTK event loop thread into a server thread that
listens for requests from other threads. Check out
http://www.humanfactor.com/gpk/ for more details.

Very interested in your feedback. Is this a library worth enhancing?

If you need POSIX threads, look at the Programming Pthreads pages at
http://www.humanfactor.com/pthreads (and find PMPthreads for an
implementation).

Have fun,
