[Implemented] better multi threading support

So we have the Thread library - lovely ... but no support for any kind of thread interactivity? ... a simple mutex library, for example, would suffice ... I mean, multithreading is basically useless without some sort of fascility for data exchange between threads, so unless you get into OS-specific stuff, there really isn't much (if anything) you can do with it. Or is there?

I think tinman has written a third party lib that handles thread communication. Check out the purebasic resource site @ www.reelmediaproductions.com in the asm lib section..

I've started it. Currently only semaphores are working.
