One obvious thing would be to make sure the Sydney changes are available against the ruby CVS HEAD, not just ruby_1_8. Are they? Another issue would be how well these changes play with YARV and what, if anything, needs to change in YARV and/or the Sydney modifications so that they can coexist. Btw: great job, Evan. Ruby really needs native thread support. If I understand correctly, it sounds like your implementation is superior to Python's even (no GIL because of Sydney's MODIFY API).
