This sounds like a reasonable request. Let me get your usage correct:  
you want to wait on a condition variable, but the actions you carry  
out don't have any shared state, and therefore don't require a lock  
to be used?

I'll mull it over a bit longer to see if I can think of any issues  
(although none come to mind immediately), and I'll release 0.0.2,  
since there have also been some other changes (especially regarding  
support for ABCL).
