Chris Young 1ddf8215cf Write out to the backing store asynchronously.
Despite the fact AmigaOS filesystems run as separate processes,
DOS filesystem writes occur synchronously waiting for the disk
write to finish before returning.  Here we have effectively taken
the core's fs backing store and extended it slightly so the store
operation is spun off into a new process, running at a lower task
priority than NetSurf itself.  This stops the UI pauses that occur
shortly after loading pages as NetSurf commits the cache to disk.

Somewhat experimental, pending more extensive user testing.

  NetSurf README
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  This document should help point you at various useful bits of information.


  Building NetSurf
==================
  
  Read the QUICK-START document in the Docs/ directory for instructions.


  Creating a new port
=====================

  Look at the existing front ends for example implementations.  The framebuffer
  front end is simplest and most self-contained.  Also, you can contact the
  developers for help:

      http://www.netsurf-browser.org/contact/

  Check out the developer documentation sources listed below too.


  Further documentation
=======================

  The Developer section of the web site has loads of info to get you started:

      http://www.netsurf-browser.org/developers/

  General documentation on how NetSurf's code works can be found on the
  development wiki:

      http://wiki.netsurf-browser.org/Documentation/

  The code style guide is here:
