FlushGraphics now tracks and wakes each thread individually, lessening

the stuttering when multiple threads are performing Flush operations.

Also, a number of comments have been reworked for accuracy.

sc2/ChangeLog

@@ -1,4 +1,5 @@
 Changes towards version 0.2:
+- FlushGraphics now waits and notifies on a per-thread level
 - No longer using SHGetFolderPath on Windows - SvdB
 - Key repeat is now enabled when typing text, from slayne
 - Capital letter bug in new input code fixed, from slayne

sc2/TODO

@@ -78,10 +78,6 @@ Implementation bugs (low priority):
 - 3D planet view when entering orbit is now done, but there's some things
   which could make it look nicer, like better slave shield and removing 
   occasional pops/discontinuities
-  - Rotation and zooming isn't now as smooth as before after condition
-    variable DCQ patch
-    - This is because of the fact that all FlushGraphics routines wait on
-      one lone condition variable -- we need one per thread, effectively.
 - Transitions (crossfades) aren't perhaps correctly done always, syncing
   might be wrong etc.
   - Condition variable DCQ patch should have fixed this.  Confirm?
