Do we still need to be thread-safe when only AS objects are garbage

In current head an assertion would fail if anything but the *main* thread
registers a collectable to the GC. You can try by allocationg an as_object
in movie_def_impl::read_all_swf, for example.
So future changes in this direction will not go unnoticed.
Have you read about the tri-color GC? What do you think about it?
I'm trying to keep it simple for the moment. Would like to clean up the
current code before thinking about improvements. We'd also need to
profile it.
