Committed and pushed - sorry for taking so lang, and thanks for the patch!

Impressive! I have a few comments:

- I see you took the 0.6 scsh packages, which have all the scsh code in
  one huge structure.  Did you look at the trunk on SourceForge, where
  it's broken up in multiple structures?

- What are your thoughts on dealing with the threads-narrowing issue?

- What are your thoughs on implementing `select' & friends?

- I saw this in thread-fluid.scm:

;;; because I'd like to have scsh stop using thread-fluids altogether if I can
;;; later.

  I'd be curious about your thoughts on this.  (Of course, the obvious
  way to get rid of them is to clean up the scsh API - an option that
  wasn't available to us at the time.)

Also, you might want to send your announcement to the scsh mailing list
as well ...
