prtlib ... POSIX timers for the people...

I wanted timers. Fast, reliable timers, so I google'd and found out about the POSIX timers. However, I wanted to make them easier to use and prtlib is the result. A work in progress as usual of course :-)

why?!

A. It uses up only one (1) POSIX timer of the system.
B. It has a very simple API with just three (3) functions for managing the timers.
C. It lets you focus on more fun stuff than writing complex timer algorithms.

status?

The library is in alfa state at the moment. Some work is needed on getting the linked list of timer requests into a skip list. Furthermore, documentation, at least a 'HowTo' will have to be written. However, a nice user guide would be preferred.
