Using grand central dispatch in Linux

Question

Is this possible, since Apple has open sourced the code (libdispatch?) I'm bit confused as to how one can make use of this. Is this like a library with an API that any application can make use of, or an OS feature built into Mac OS X? Can application built "for" Macs and iPhone (with iOS 4) alone make use of this library?

I assume one has to run a port to make gcc also compatible with the new semantic that Apple has introduced.

It's almost a year later but I'm using it quite happily on Ubuntu Natty. Proper packages are coming in Oneiric.
