Should already be in 6.02.1 - add the -threaded flag when linking, and 
you'll get the "threaded rts" which uses native thread to make sure 
that (safe) ffi calls don't block.
Waiting for a character sounds like a job for the standard input 
routines, and they should support concurrency even without the threaded 
RTS, but I don't know about the windows version.
