Along those lines, has there been any thought about separating the io_service functionality into a separate library? A robust, tested work-thread queue system has lots of applications aside from the (relatively) narrow purview of asio. People might be more likely to find and use it if it's advertised as a more general purpose tool. Just a thought.

The implementation of io_service is coupled to I/O, so I don't think it's appropriate to separate it out. However, an interface that consists of just post/dispatch/run etc could certainly be implemented as a separate library, if somebody wanted to do that. Cheers, Chris
