[ASYNC] notes and credits

There are several things I should mention.  First off, this is by no means
just my code.  Let me give credit to Duane Maxwell for letting us post it,
and Luciano Notarfrancesco, John Sarkela, David Caster, Stephen Pair and
Marcio Marchini.  Thanks!  If I missed crediting your contribution, let me
know.

So, onto some notes about all that code.  As other emails mentioned, the
events code from SWT is subtly different.  I'll get the code migrated.  In
the meantime, use the events that I posted.  You also need the SharedQueue
changes, for the #nextTimeoutMSecs: method.  Without this stuff, certain
parts of the Queue engines kinda blow up.  this does not effectively
demonstrate the features of the system, although it doesn't lock the image
either, so there has been improvement!  ;-)

Finally, the Trampoline object for the Async code is a subclass of
ProtoObject.  This thing doesn't do so well when you right-click->inspect.
At this point you wont be able to open an inspector on it, or is this just
because I am in the delegation VM?  You can send inspect to it, but that
will forward to the target object and inspect that.
