ext/apr - exercise or joke?

Well yes, it started as an exercise (and others thought it is a joke) ;)

My intention was to export apr_md5_encode() to php which generates MD5 password hashes similar to those found in .htpasswd files. PEARs File_Passwd already does that, but with plain vanilla PHP - generating one password takes about 0.2 seconds and more.

Currently I'm trying to make apr_threads usable - wouldn't threads in PHP be cool? Yes, they'd definitly be :) It's just a segfault away from working ;)

<?php

class Thread1 extends APR_Thread {
    function run() {
        // do some work
    }
}
class Thread2 extends APR_Thread {
    function run() {
        // do some concurrent work
    }
}
new Thread1;
new Thread2;
?>

Thanks to Derick, Sara and the whole php.pecl gang - I wouldn't have managed to get that far without their tremendous help!
