OK

I should remove the description of algorithm from the docu?

in the case of time_points it is a little bit complicated. algorithm,
fiber-schdulers and the sync. primitives use steady_clock::time_point.
I don't see how I could make this flexible so that it would work with all
kinds of clocks from boost.chrono.
the only possibility would be to make the member-functions and the classes
(for instance condition_variable) templates (clock-type as template
parameter).
but this would be make the complete code templated and uncomfortable.

I thought that using one clock (steady_clock would be preferable) is OK.
