Release of threads::shared and threads::queue.

Now working versions of

threads
threads::shared
threads::queue

are on CPAN.

shared is implmented using magic for scalars and tie for arrays and hashes,
the interface if thru a share() function which takes a ref and returns a
ref. the scalars are pretty fast. References to arrays and hashes work, REFs
and scalar refs are "untested". Refcnting across interpreters should work,
but can contain leaks.

I believe most things that are needed to actually do anything in ithreads in
perl is now avaiable.

If you want to experiment I suggest perl 5.7.2 or even better, latest
snapshot.

The following Configure option is going to build perl for what you need.

 -Dusethreads -DMULITPLICITY

If you don't run on win32 or digital unix clibs, please try

 -Dusreentrant

This makes some of perl functions use reentrant clibs, this is only tested
on glibc but it would be great if more people could test it!
