This is now checked in. In the end, I implemented a new method for
passing off an acquired muto to another thread. This avoids the need
for allocating another event. I can use this technique elsewhere, too.
So, I revamped window.cc and did a minor revamp and cleanup on mutos.
This is not something I would have expected anyone else to do.
Thanks again for putting the effort into producing a patch. In the end,
I just decided to go with my original observation that this code needed
some major work. And, I'm not done yet...
