With semaphores and shared memory you can basically emulate the
behaviour you would expect from native threads. Though I'm not certain

Ie, shm_open will give you a file descriptor, which you can then treat

I put some effort to make the return values and parameters
scheme-types-friendly, so you should be able to use it in a manner not
unlike you would expect to in C. It's thoroughly untested, but I
