I like the idea of having useful generic code patterns like this in the
examples repos. But I also have a few wishes regarding this particular one:

 * I would prefer that generic patterns are coded against POSIX or maybe
   Native, not against a special RTOS skin (not everyone know the
   VxWorks API by heart ;) ).

 * Try to make use of as less additional patterns beyond the core aspect
   as possible. E.g., running the lights in main would avoid quite some
   code for init/cleanup. This helps the reader to grab the essence of
   the demo. Still, the demo should remain functional!

 * Please format your code according to kernel style (could be any
   style, but we need a standard, so pick that one)

I would happily merge a cleaned up version into the repos, e.g. under
the related skin.

Thanks,
Jan


PS: If you want to contribute VxWorks-specific code pattern, you are
welcome as well!
