/*
        Notes on operation:

        We now have 2 mechanisms for rendering threads.

        Both mechanisms use a process_page procedure set to
        clist_process_page_mt so control arrives here to render the page
        for output.

        The interpreter calls the devices print_page function. Devices
        then call process_page with an options structure that inclues
        both a process_fn and an output_fn.

        In all cases that we care about here, process_page is set to
        clist_process_page_mt. For both mechanisms, this function sets
        up a pool of n worker threads all ready to render different
        bands of the file.

        This function then causes each worker to render a thread in
        turn (by calling process_fn, which calls back to getbits, which
        causes the band to be rendered to a buffer).

        Most devices that are just writing each band to an output file
        rely on 'in-order' calling. That is to say, they need to output
        the data from band 0, followed by that from band 1, etc. (or
        possibly band n-1, followed by band-2, etc).

        Such devices define an 'output_fn', which is called back with
        the results of each band in turn. We guarantee that this
        output_fn is called in the order it expects.

        The only downside to this way of working, is that threads can
        be sat around not working for long periods - especially if the
        different bands take different lengths of time to render.

        For example, imagine if we are running with 4 workers. We
        kick off rendering for band 0,1,2,3 at the same time. Whichever
        order those renderings finish in, we can only ever output them
        in the order 0,1,2,3.

        This means that if band 3 finishes early (perhaps its contents
        are less complex than the other bands), it will be sat there
        idle waiting for all the other bands to finish before it can
        output, and resume its next rendering.

        For devices that are not dependent on the order in which data
        becomes available, we therefore offer a second mechanism; by
        setting output_fn to NULL, we indicate that process_fn will
        not only render the page, it will 'output' it too, and handle
        the selection of which band to render next.

        In this mode, the render threads can always be kept busy,
        modulo any blocking that happens within the process_fn. For
        devices which can operate in this way, non-trivial speedups
        can be given.
