Summary: Replace ooDialog WinTimer with a waitable time

Initial Comment:
ooDialog has a documented external function: WinTimer()  The implementation for this seems poorly thought out, because the wait operation sits in what is essentially a busy loop consuming 100% of the CPU.

It looks like replacing the implementation with a waitable timer object would serve the same purpose and be much more efficient.  As an enhancement, the new APIs would allow the waitable timer's callback function to directly invoke a method in a Rexx object.
