I did recognize the irony and I don't want to underestimate your work either,
but getting libdispatch to compile is just the first step. The real problems
are going to arise thereafter, as we're now able to run the test suite.
I also would like to thank all developers who are replying that quickly
on the list, and Mark Heily for developing libkqueue.

All libraries and programs have been compiled with GCC 4.4.1.
Please note that I ran the tests manually, because
    make -C <build-of-libdispatch>/testing check
might report pass, e.g.:
        Actual: 193
        Expected: 192
[FAIL] blocks completed (/home/mario/diplom/src/libdispatch/testing/dispatch_priority.c:82)
        /home/mario/diplom/src/libdispatch/testing/dispatch_priority.c:82
        Actual: 29
        Expected: <36
[PASS] high priority precedence
PASS: dispatch_priority

Here are the results:

dispatch_api:     pass
dispatch_c99:     pass
dispatch_cascade: pass
dispatch_debug:   pass

dispatch_priority: fail

dispatch_starfish: fail
laps 10-1 pass, but the task doesn't return and spins forever (one thread).

queue_finalizer:  pass

ciao,
