Prepare for radical source tree reorganization. zack/build-layout-experiment
All top-level files and directories are moved into a temporary storage
directory, REORG.TODO, except for files that will certainly still
exist in their current form at top level when we're done (COPYING,
COPYING.LIB, LICENSES, NEWS, README), all old ChangeLog files (which
are moved to the new directory OldChangeLogs, instead), and the
generated file INSTALL (which is just deleted; in the new order, there
will be no generated files checked into version control).

-- we should probably extend pthread_mutexattr_t with a field to create a

-  pthread_mutexattr_* functions.

-
-- a new attribute for mutexes: number of times we spin before calling
-sys_futex
-
-- for adaptive mutexes: when releasing, determine whether somebody spins.
-If yes, for a short time release lock.  If someone else locks no wakeup
-syscall needed.

-- test with threaded process terminating and semadj (?) being applied

-- semaphore changes:
-
-  - sem_post should only wake one thread and only when the state of
-    the semaphore changed from 0 to 1
-
-    this also requires that sem_wait and sem_timedwait don't drop the
-    post if they get canceled.
-
-  - possibly add counter field.  This requires reviving the
-    differences between old and new semaphose funtions.  The old ones
-    stay as they are now.  The new once can use an additional field
-    wich is the counter for the number of waiters
