README for Thread::Detach

Perl versions before 5.8.4 don't support the "detach" method of the threads module on Windows!. This module provides a temporary fix for this problem if it is running under Windows and with a version of Perl that has the problem. In any other situation, this module does nothing.

*** A note of CAUTION ***

This module only functions on Perl versions 5.8.0 and later. And then only when threads are enabled with -Dusethreads. It is of no use with any version of Perl before 5.8.0 or without threads enabled.
