Make the memory-window conrol structures global
Up to now, the idea was that the user would do all the operations for one repository in the same thread. Thus we could have the memory-mapped window information thread-local and avoid any locking. This is not practical in a few environments, such as Apple's GCD which allocates threads arbitrarily or the .NET CLR, where the OS-level thread can change at any moment. Make the control structure global and protect it with a mutex so we don't depend on the thread currently executing the code.
