        Hahaha :-) well, I know not a little about thread safety - and I
know I have seen worrying things done in ORBit2 outside of proper
exclusion - But, having said that - a lot of it has locking where it needs
it, and so it seems likely to work quite well for several sets of things.

        :-) That'd be really, really great. Sebastian said he would come
and hack on ORBit2 which was wonderful, but sadly he doesn't have time.
It'd be great to bring your experience to the problems too.

        Regards,

                Michael.
