Why not use rsc's libtask instead? It would avoid most of the p9p
baggage (which certainly it is not designed to make it easy for people
to build apps that depend on it).
libtask is small enough that it could easily be distributed together with xcpu.
Just an ignorant suggestion by someone that is not even clear on what xcpu does.
