Is there a way to make the current thread sleep for a given amount of time,
while having the possibility of another thread "waking it up" earlier?

Create a mutex/condition pair, then have one thread wait on the condition  
with a timeout.

The second thread signals the condition to wake it up early.

If you are using D1, then you have to use Tango (I think), and the classes  
are tango.core.sync.Mutex and tango.core.sync.Condition

If you are using D2, then they are in druntime, probably  
core.sync.Condition and core.sync.Mutex, not sure though.

Thanks for your answer.
If there is a way without tango I am interested.
