* fixed some concurrency problems between the lscp thread and the
  audio/midi threads for these commands: load engine, set channel
  audio output device, set channel midi input device/port/channel and
  remove channel. Thanks to Vincent Bongiorno for bug reports and
  testing.
* removed an autotools warning
* fixed an iterator bug
* minor code clean-ups

29 * Thread safe management of configuration data, where the data is
30 * updated by a single non real time thread and read by a single
31 * real time thread.
32 *
33 * The synchronization is achieved by using two instances of the
34 * configuration data. The non real time thread gets access to the
35 * instance not currently in use by the real time thread by
36 * calling GetConfigForUpdate(). After the data is updated, the
37 * non real time thread must call SwitchConfig() and redo the
38 * update on the other instance. SwitchConfig() blocks until it is
39 * safe to modify the other instance.
40 *
41 * The real time thread calls Lock() to get access to the data,
42 * and Unlock() when it is finished reading the data. (Neither
43 * Lock nor Unlock will block the real time thread, or use any
44 * system calls.)
