Rogue Amoeba donates RAOperationQueue to Cocotron

Makers of fine audio software for both Mac and Windows, Rogue Amoeba recently released an open source workalike of NSOperationQueue called RAOperationQueue.

Recognizing that Cocotron needed an NSOperationQueue implementation they also released a copy of RAOperationQueue under the MIT license for Cocotron. The Cocotron will be integrating RAOperationQueue as NSOperationQueue and moving the implementation forward. This is a big help to Cocotron as we will be able to start with a tested and functioning implementation right away.

Thanks to Mike Ash at RA for putting this together. Mike has helped Cocotron in the past and continues to be a friend of the project.
