message:
  Relevant changes in ThreadExtra. Now threads may be also created as futures in order to work with them in a more confortable way (using Future.touch and Future.taste).
  val create : ?killable:unit -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'a -> Thread.t
  val future : ?killable:unit -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b Future.t
  Also, added two functions based on Thread.select similar to Unix.read and Unix.recv but giving to the caller a way to exit from the waiting phases. The "exit_door" should be a read descriptor fd0 resulting from a [let fd0, fd1 = Unix.pipe ()]. Providing the option ~exit_door:fd0 the read mechanism will be broken by another thread simply closing fd1 (causing this way an exception of the kind Failure).
