Hi Norman,

in order to simplify the implementation of
multi-threaded/multi-entrypoint servers, I made an attempt to extract
the generic part from the multi-threaded timer implementation you
referenced.

I therefore created a Root_component_multi and a
Session_component_multi from which a server implementation can easily
inherit. As far as I know, it is working in Mohammad's case.

I put this on github so that anyone else can reuse the code [1].
