Would like to include support for ECL. Can anyone provide me some
links to documentation on ECL Multithread?

I can't get DNS resolution for www.eurogaran.com.

I'm seeing a resolution to 213.236.24.17, but you'll see a proxy error 
if you use that address directly.  :(

?!?  Isn't Juanjo the head ECL developer?  He wrote limitools for 
everyone else a couple years ago?  Odd.

Anyway, here's a link to the ECL docs on multithreading.

No. My name is Juanjo Garcia Carre and his is Juanjo Garcia Ripoll.
We are both spaniards (catalonian origin), similar age, with a
scientific background (mine in chemistry, his in physics) and lispers,
but that's where similarities end.

Threads on ECL were not working then.

These days are in Spain a small vacational period, so I did not want
to disturb Juanjo Garcia Ripoll unnecessarily. Thanks again.

I have uploaded a preliminary version of limitime.lsp with ECL
support. Same link.
It causes segfaults for me, but I think it's a problem of my
ecl-9.4.1. Can you test it?
Expecting your comments.

Seems to work on ecl 8.12.0.

*features*
(:ASDF :LINUX :FORMATTER :IEEE-FLOATING-POINT :RELATIVE-PACKAGE-NAMES
:UNICODE :DFFI :CLOS-STREAMS :CMU-FORMAT :UNIX :ECL-PDE :DLOPEN :CLOS 
:THREADS :BOEHM-GC :ANSI-CL :COMMON-LISP :ECL :COMMON :X86_64 :FFI 
:PREFIXED-API)

Test cases:
(with-min-time 5 5)
(with-max-time 5 (loop))

I don't have 9.4 handy for testing.

OK Thanks Daniel.
I will announce as soon as I can download and test some working
version of a threaded ecl. (I'm on hollidays and the connection here
is horrible).
Meanwhile I think is perfectly safe for to use the uploaded limitools.
