Stephan Aßmus 4dd89c6903 * added a multi locker implementation from Ingo Weinhold,
which supports ReadLockWithTimeout()
* commented the code in many more places
* understood the problem of making the read/write locking
  work: While it would be possible for each window to
  remove the processed region from the global dirty region
  in read lock mode (since it is guaranteed not remove
  a region not intersecting with its own visible region),
  multiple window threads can still not do this at the same
  time, since BRegion itself is not threadsafe of course.
* I need to figure out a way for the window threads to be
  able to access and modify all needed data in read only mode,
  I think this means to divide the global dirty region into
  each window again, so that each window thread can simply
  clear its own dirty region instead of excluding it from
  the global region. Yeah, that might work.
