[Stackless] [threading] Stackless based replacement

[David Naylor]

Hi,

Today I created a threading library to replace the default one.  The 
uniqueness of this library is that it is based solely based on stackless and 
functions as a (near) drop in replacement for the 'threaded' version.  

Only a few minor changes needs to be done to source code:
- The 'main' code needs to be moved into a thread
- threading.start() needs to be called [and will block until threads stop 
functioning]

Some known issues:
- threading.start() enters a busy  loop if a deadlock occurs.  
- There might be come locking issues [related to atomic]
- atomic does not appear to be so atomic***

Thought I might share this with the community.  

Regards

David
