Changes: This release added support for FreeBSD/x86, but needs testing with the different threading libraries (4.X "-pthreads", LinuxThreads, and 5.X with KSEs). There were also documentation improvements, a workaround to compile with Red Hat 9's half-finished epoll, and a fix for sigsafe_select.

Changes: The documentation has been improved: there's an extremely quick overview on the front page, a page with signal usage patterns and notes (from the old front page), and a separate background page. The race condition tests are now more complete and easier to run.

Changes: Initial version with Linux/i386 and Darwin/PPC (OS X) implementations. The race condition checker does not yet work under Darwin.
