I'll bump in here. :) Currently I do this using a pthread-locked fifo,
which is used for all communication with the engine process. Ok, I know
this has been discussed already, but how much trouble should I expect
(portability wise), if I replace the current fifo with an non-locking fifo
using asm/atomic.h? In other words, is it worth the trouble to keep both,
and write autoconf macros that check for asm/atomic.h...? And the natural
next question, has someone already done this? :)
