Michael Walker 2f0f51ceb6 Split concurrency modules into a separate package.
The new 'concurrency' package is starting at version 1.0.0.0 because the
API is already very mature (copied from base).

This breaks the dejafu-0.2 compatibility of async-dejafu.

Closes #51.

async-dejafu

The async library provides a higher-level interface over threads, allowing users to conveniently run IO operations asynchronously and wait for their results. This package is a reimplementation of async using the MonadConc abstraction from concurrency, providing easy-to-use asynchronous operaitons within an easily-testable framework.

This package itself is tested with dejafu.

When these functions are used in an IO context, the behaviour should appear identical to the original async package.

The documentation of the latest developmental version is available online.
