[PD] object using a thread?

[Christian Klippel]

hi all,

is there any simple object that creates and uses a thread, and which is 
cross-platform between at least linux, os-x and win?
and if not a simple, is there any other? or has someone such a "bare-bone" 
object at hand maybe?

goal is to make the object for the multIO threaded, so it would be just a 
simple reader-thread that toggles/writes to two message queses (one writing, 
the other reading)

thanks in advance,

chris
