Update: I've implemented watches and improved the list of threads and 
the callstack.

This discussion in mind myu first intention was to create some kind of 
global list with watches. But in the end I decided not to do something 
like that. After all, a 'watch' isn't something on it's own. There is a 
window that shows a few watches. So I made the list of watches part of 
the dialog.

Makes it also possible to show multiple dialogs with each it's own watches.

But only the history will get a challenge. But this also need some more 
thought.

Joost.
