There's the concurrency branch in the repository.  It needs to be
revived (didn't see any activity for the last 2 years), and was not
really ready for prime time last time I looked at it (see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-08/msg00704.html
and its continuation into Sep 2013).  But it's not far from its
proclaimed goal.
