Idle Task Library

I just posted an update to my Idle Task Library on the User Contributions. It
now works on linux AND windows.

It provides 2 useful routines: nanosleep() - to sleep for less than 1 second,
and idletask() - causes the Euphoria task scheduler to idle the CPU when not
running other tasks (otherwise, the scheduler will use active waiting when there
is less than 1 second between scheduled tasks, which hogs the CPU) Read the
comments in the source file for more info and usage examples.

Read this conversation for more information:
