It's sync/threaded, though in such a way that you can use it in an  
async app if you want (the threaded stuff is all hidden).

I find async code much more convoluted and difficult to absorb, which  
is exactly what I don't want in security code. ;)

When John & friends are done with the Transport branch, I'll probably  
do another port.  I just figured the effort would be wasted until  
that stuff settles down more.
