Heh.  That green is acctually the xosd library's default.  It's supposed
to resemble the green volume/balance bars on a TV screen. ;)

Anyways, about --enable-pthread, I could try it, as an exercise, but
seeing as I'd like to distribute this library, I would rather not force
people to recompile ruby to use it. :)  So, if there's any possible way of
getting pthread to play nicely with the standard ruby distribution, I'd
like to try that.
