Hi all,

Would it be possible to have the new 'parallel' library export a dummy
function, something akin to

if(Windows) mclapply <- lapply

to paper over the lack of fork() support on said platform?  This may not be
the world's greatest idea, but it would make it easier for me to maintain my
package and still offer most users good parallel support.  Plus, I can't
really see where it would cause problems, but then I don't develop R,
myself.

Thanks for any thoughts on the matter.
