Bill Spitzak be106a0977 Cleanup of the timeout and Fl::wait() code. This one calls the clock
function less than half as much, which resulted in a noticable
improvement in a flip book program I was working on.  The code looks
nicer, too, and I am reasonably certain it works the same.

Fl::wait(time) with a time greater than the system can handle (24.855
days on NT, the same on some Unix systems) will now act as though the
time is infinity.  Before it would do unpredictable things.

"USE_POLL" now compiles and works, although it is disabled by default.
poll() is an alternative to the Unix select() call which is available on
Linux and Irix, but I don't know if it is faster, you can try it by
editing config.h.

I tried making the NT USE_ASYNC_SELECT code do translate/dispatch of
the select events on the assumption (based on experience) that not
doing this to every event gives NT fits.  This appears to work but I'm
not sure if it fixes anything.

X version does not crash if Fl::wait() is called when the display is
closed (it will not return unless you have a timeout or fd callback
set up, though).

Fixed up the documentation for all of this, including getting rid of
some completely misleading documentation.

Now I need to get this stuff into 2.0...

The documentation in this directory is in HTML format.  To read it just
point your browser at the "index.html" file. A slightly more browseable
version is accessable at the FLTK web site, along with PostScript(tm)
and PDF versions of the manual.

You can generate your own (printable) copy of the manual by typing
"make" in this directory.  You will need to have the HTMLDOC software
installed on your system.  HTMLDOC can be downloaded from:

The default media size is 8.27x11.0" (210x279mm), which is the lesser
of A4 and US Letter sizes.  You can change this in the makefile by
uncommenting the corresponding media size or defining your own.
