Follow-up Comment #6, bug #98102 (project xrootd):
Whatever solution we do come up should be a MacOS only fix that is only used
in a MacOS environment. There is no need to burden more tolerant OS's with
this MacOS silliness (which I'm told is similar to Windows silliness). In
fact, MacOS, in many ways, assumes that you will use the "dispatch_xxx"
methods to implement multi-threaded applications. See,
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/General/Conceptual/ConcurrencyProgrammingGuide/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008091-CH1-SW1
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/dispatch_main.3.html
Of course, doing so immediately locks you into the Macos/iOS platform. Not
bad eh?
Let's think about this before we shoot off something that we will all be
sorry about.
