Source Code - Installment One

Edit 15-Oct-2012:  Posted corrected code - missed a few typos. GpioPoller.c is now the multiplexed version. Edit to make HTML behave nicely.

I have been looking at this source code issue from the wrong perspective.  I knew that I would be posting my source code here eventually, but I didn't think that it would be useful to that many people.  That was when tunnel vision had me thinking of just this alarm system project.

The example code that I present here is really much more widely applicable.  This is my main function, which implements a daemon process in C.  Also included are my data structures and my method for using worker threads.  Copious comments have been added to help clarify things.
