Hi greg,

fastthread shouldn't be required by recent 1.8 Ruby versions according 
to the original author [1]. If it is, it is just because lack of 
expressiveness of RubyGems. Moreover, I consider this dependency bug 
anyway, since it just improves speed, but was never really needed. For 
example, Mongrel is running without the fastthread just fine (although 
slower probably), only its .gemspec forces it to use the fastthread. 
That is wrong.
