0.0.1

  - updated to use producer threds pushing onto a SizedQueue for each consumer
    channel.  in this way the producers do not build up a massize parllel data
    structure but provide data to the consumers only as fast as they can fork
    and proccess it.  basically for a 4 process run you'll end up with 4
    channels of size 1 between 4 produces and 4 consumers, each consumer is a
    thread popping of jobs, forking, and yielding results.

  - removed use of Queue for capturing the output.  now it's simply an array
    of arrays which removed some sync overhead.

  - you can configure the number of processes globally with

      Forkoff.default['proccess'] = 4

  - you can now pass either an options hash

      forkoff( :processes => 2 ) ...

    or plain vanilla number

      forkoff( 2 ) ...

    to the forkoff call

  - default number of processes is 8, not 2
