The current version neither works with ActiveState Perl nor with another
Perl that has fork emulation on NT. There are two things that must be done:

1.) All XS function definition must contain a special macro that takes care
about the correct parameters that are neccessary for threads/fork
emulation/multipiclity

2.) The globals (mainly the var pCurrReq) must be per interpreter (for fork
emulation) or per thread (for threads)

I am not sure if I bring this in before 1.3 release version. 2.0 will
support it surely (but the current alpha (2.0a6) doesn't)

That would be ok with changes I mentioned above.
