20100310 open-source release

Changes (w.r.t. TBB 2.2 Update 3 commercial-aligned release):

- Version macros changed in anticipation of a future release.
- Directory structure aligned with Intel(R) C++ Compiler;
    now TBB binaries reside in <arch>/<os_key>/[bin|lib]
    (in TBB 2.x, it was [bin|lib]/<arch>/<os_key>).
- Visual Studio projects changed for examples: instead of separate set
    of files for each VS version, now there is single 'msvs' directory
    that contains workspaces for MS C++ compiler (<example>_cl.sln) and
    Intel C++ compiler (<example>_icl.sln). Works with VS 2005 and above.
- The name versioning scheme for backward compatibility was improved;
    now compatibility-breaking changes are done in a separate namespace.
- Added concurrent_unordered_map implementation based on a prototype
    developed in Microsoft for a future version of PPL.
- Added PPL-compatible writer-preference RW lock (reader_writer_lock).
- Added TBB_IMPLEMENT_CPP0X macro to control injection of C++0x names
    implemented in TBB into namespace std.
- Added almost-C++0x-compatible std::condition_variable, plus a bunch
    of other C++0x classes required by condition_variable.
- With TBB_IMPLEMENT_CPP0X, tbb_thread can be also used as std::thread.
- task.cpp was split into several translation units to structure 
    TBB scheduler sources layout. Static data layout and library 
    initialization logic were also updated.
- TBB scheduler reworked to prevent master threads from stealing
    work belonging to other masters.
- Class task was extended with enqueue() method, and slightly changed
    semantics of methods spawn() and destroy(). For exact semantics,
    refer to TBB Reference manual.
- task_group_context now allows for destruction by non-owner threads.
- Added TBB_USE_EXCEPTIONS macro to control use of exceptions in TBB
    headers. It turns off (i.e. sets to 0) automatically if specified
    compiler options disable exception handling.
- TBB is enabled to run on top of Microsoft's Concurrency Runtime
    on Windows* 7 (via our worker dispatcher known as RML).
- Removed old unused busy-waiting code in concurrent_queue.
- Described the advanced build & test options in src/index.html.
- Warning level for GCC raised with -Wextra and a few other options.
- Multiple fixes and improvements in code, tests, examples, and docs.

Open-source contributions integrated:

- Xbox support by Roman Lut (Deep Shadows), though further changes are
    required to make it working; e.g. post-2.1 entry points are missing.
- "Eventcount" by Dmitry Vyukov evolved into concurrent_monitor,
    an internal class used in the implementation of concurrent_queue.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    versions of Visual C++* runtime DLLs. TBB DLLs built with /MT 
    are located in vc_mt directory.
- Class critical_section introduced.
- Improvements in exception support: new exception classes introduced,
    all exceptions are thrown via an out-of-line internal method.

    including robust memory identification, and more reliable dynamic
    function substitution on Windows*.
- Method swap() added to class tbb_thread.
