// * Description:  This file defines CActiveTimeouter, a very simple timeout class. 
// *               It is an active timeout-class used by clients to get asynchronous timeouts.
// *               The observer derives from the MTimeoutObserver class	and calls the Start 
// *               function to start the timer. When and if the timeout occurs the TimedOut 
// *               function on the observer will be called.
// *               MTimeoutObserver is an abstract mixin class implemented by a class that is 
// *               interested in timeouts generated by CActiveTimeouter.
