Hello,

So, I was looking at seeing if there were any portability problems with using Apple's new Clang compiler with qthreads, and ran into what looks like incomplete support of C++ (granted, it's *wacky* C++). Specifically, some of the old futurelib stuff wouldn't compile (empty vtables and undefined new(unsigned long), for example).

Now, that futurelib code is *very* old, *very* ugly, *very* hard to work with (read: as a result, it is unmaintained), AND has been replaced by something much more modern and new and cool (huzzah for Greg Mackey!), not to mention readable and maintainable.

Is it worth keeping around? Is anyone using it? Would anyone cry foul if I simply deleted the following headers?

include/qthread/loop_iter.hpp
include/qthread/loop_templates.hpp
include/qthread/loop.hpp
