1.1 has a nasty problem - Window.__tostring can return nil, which
messes all the find-window functions.

The new Thread class is now documented.

Otherwise, shell_exec is no longer ASCII, spawn() has an extra
optional directory parameter, and there's a new
Process.wait_for_input_idle function which can be used to wait for a
spawned app to be ready for business.

There is also 'setenv' for setting environment variables which a
spawned process can use.
