FYI to FreeBSD 8-STABLE followers who may be interested in using Apple's GCD
technology on FreeBSD. GCD, for those who may have missed it, is a concurrent
programming framework introdued in Mac OS X Snow Leopard, now also supported
on FreeBSD.
There are a number of useful links on the wiki page, but this provides the
best high-level introduction:

Subject: [libdispatch-dev] FreeBSD 8-STABLE now supports GCD,
libdispatch port updated
Dear all:
Just an FYI that all the parts are now in place to use GCD (libdispatch) on
FreeBSD 8-STABLE. You will need the following:
- FreeBSD 8-STABLE snapshot from at least 2009-11-01 (r198732)
- FreeBSD libdispatch port from at least 2009-11-11
Do the upgrade to the 8-STABLE snapshot first so that the port can find the
required kernel features. As a reminder, you can find FreeBSD/GCD port status,
quick start guide, and general information here:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/GCD
I have updated it to reflect 8.x support. Thanks are due to Stacey Son and
Stanislav Sedov for their work to make this happen!
