   From Bill:

   I would prefer that FLTK contain the minimal amount of extra
   stuff for doing threads.  There are other portable thread
   wrapper libraries out there and FLTK should not be providing
   another.  This file is an attempt to make minimal additions
   and make them self-contained in this source file.

   From Mike:

   Starting with 1.1.8, we now have a callback so that you can
   process awake() messages as they come in.


   The API:

   Fl::lock() - recursive lock.  You must call this before the
   first call to Fl::wait()/run() to initialize the thread
   system. The lock is locked all the time except when
   Fl::wait() is waiting for events.

   Fl::unlock() - release the recursive lock.

   Fl::awake(void*) - Causes Fl::wait() to return (with the lock
   locked) even if there are no events ready.

   Fl::awake(void (*cb)(void *), void*) - Call a function
   in the main thread from within another thread of execution.

   Fl::thread_message() - returns an argument sent to an
   Fl::awake() call, or returns NULL if none.  WARNING: the
   current implementation only has a one-entry queue and only
   returns the most recent value!

// Windows threading...
/** \fn int Fl::lock()
    The lock() method blocks the current thread until it
    can safely access FLTK widgets and data. Child threads should
    call this method prior to updating any widgets or accessing
    data. The main thread must call lock() to initialize
    the threading support in FLTK. lock() will return non-zero
    if threading is not available on the platform.
    
    Child threads must call unlock() when they are done
    accessing FLTK.
    
    When the wait() method is waiting
    for input or timeouts, child threads are given access to FLTK.
    Similarly, when the main thread needs to do processing, it will
    wait until all child threads have called unlock() before processing
    additional data.
 
    \return 0 if threading is available on the platform; non-zero
    otherwise.
    
    See also: \ref advanced_multithreading
*/
/** \fn void Fl::unlock()
    The unlock() method releases the lock that was set
    using the lock() method. Child
    threads should call this method as soon as they are finished
    accessing FLTK.
    
    See also: \ref advanced_multithreading
*/
/** \fn void Fl::awake(void* msg)
    Sends a message pointer to the main thread, 
    causing any pending Fl::wait() call to 
    terminate so that the main thread can retrieve the message and any pending 
    redraws can be processed.
    
    Multiple calls to Fl::awake() will queue multiple pointers 
    for the main thread to process, up to a system-defined (typically several 
    thousand) depth. The default message handler saves the last message which 
    can be accessed using the 
    Fl::thread_message() function.

    In the context of a threaded application, a call to Fl::awake() with no
    argument will trigger event loop handling in the main thread. Since
    it is not possible to call Fl::flush() from a subsidiary thread,
    Fl::awake() is the best (and only, really) substitute.
