Well, it adds too many dependencies, doesn't compile too well on architectures other than GNU/Linux (it failed on Solaris 2.8), pollutes the namespace and (most important) cannot do what we need. Plus it makes debugging hard by starting lots of background threads, which is not only unnecessary for such a simple app as mine, but also undesired for a shared library, which Max is writing. Plus, the dependency on preemptive threads makes it fail in strange ways under NetBSD, which has cooperative threads by default.
