Review request for kwin and Martin Gr=C3=A4=C3=9Flin.


Changes
-------

update some commented code with info comments
egl syncing is still blocked and has a TODO mark


Description
-------

This performs a paint & glFlush immediately after the buffer swapping and d=
efers the next swapping to the next anticipated frame (or idling)
The behavior is still not as deterministic as we hoped to be since we canno=
t measure the time for the actual vsync :\
I set a fuzzyness of 6ms what leads to a majority of 2-3ms times in waitsyn=
c but single wait times up to 8 or 9ms occur (what ultimately can be part o=
f the syncing itself)

There's some debug code to print lagging.

TODO:
- attempt egl support
- probably lie to the effects about the time

Testing
-------

I've used a CRT for testing which can sync every 11ms ie. 85Hz and lowered =
the maxFPS down to 10fps with pretty constant results for the time lost wai=
ting for the sync.


Thanks,

Thomas L=C3=BCbking
