public class SmoothScroller
extends Thread

SmootherScroller is a thread which calls back Scrollable clients to generate a real-world feel to smoother scrolling. This model includes applying thrust in one direction or another and friction. A variable amount of thrust can be applied for a variable amount of time. A notion of braking is included, by temporarily upping the friction. Units of acceleration are in pixels/sec/sec. Velocity is in pixels/sec. The constants below probably should not be constants and rather should be configurable for each instance. These constants work well for a text widget that calls the thrust method with particular values. Get my point? This thread is a daemon thread, so if all other user threads die, this one will too.
