I think it would be good if another VM implemented it, to see if the
proposed split works there as well (IKVM is already running with it).
Besides that, VMThread needs to be documented and a NEWS entry needs to
be written. I've attached the code I've got at the moment.

A side question (that's important for deciding whether to include it in
the 0.06 release), do any VMs use the unmodified reference Thread class?
