* This implements a threaded service queue which loads images on background.
* In order to request an image loading you call touch() with the pointer to
* the cached image. Then it will try to satisfy the request as soon as
* posible (that's it: after finishing an eventual loading on progress)
* touch() returns inmediately, in order not tu disrupt the flow of the main
* thread.
* The service thread is the method loadNext(). It's actually not a thread,
* but implemented with a timer that comes back every x msec.
