removing threaded tile swapper code

Hi,

we are still carrying with us some ifdef'ed out code for a threaded tile swapper. This code lives in

app/base/tile.c app/base/tile-cache.c
app/base/tile-private.h
app/base/tile-swap.c

and it hasn't been used for a long time. If I remember correctly, it has even never worked correctly and since I assume that noone understands it any longer, I intend to remove it. This also means that the TILE_MUTEX_LOCK() and TILE_MUTEX_UNLOCK() calls will be removed. Currently these macros do nothing unless the threaded tile swapper is enabled.

So if you have been working on this code or have been working on something else that relies on the presence of the tile locks, please let me know. Otherwise it will be removed by the end of the week.

Sven
