You definitely want to do an event loop on the REPL fd and the
graphics subsystem here, no threads.

Whether it's easy to hack up cl-opengl to do that is a different
matter but it would be wise on their part to provide a hook for an
event loop.

The threads in CMUCL won't work reliably as-is, green or not.
