Could you mail us a patch?

You mean System.Threading.Timer?  That would be nice, but you might want
to discuss your implementation strategy on the mailing list.  I saw that
Dick was the last person touching that code, and it would be nice to
hear what he thinks about this.

There are a number of questions to ponder:

	* Are timer functions invoked on the same thread or a separate	
	  thread?  This will tell you whether you have to implement
	  the timers using just a separate thread and sleeping, or not.

	* Are timers supposed to be invoked during a main loop
	  invocation, or will be triggered even if you are busy?

	  This will tell you whether you have to use SIGITIMER, or if
	  you can get away with running some main loop.
