My initial look showed that R5 was missing functions relating to
atomic test and set.

Well, I would like it so I can have multi-threaded encodes/decodes in 3ivx.
Since Haiku does not yet have encoding support I can only port the
multithreaded decoder.
I am not asking for a haiku developer to do this for me. But if
anyone thinks they can do it. Then contact me and maybe we can come
to an arrangement.
