            1, if the caller may ( and MUST !!!) call commitChange.
            0, if the caller is not allowed to call commitChange. This can only happen,
               if the other bridge has called requestChange at the same time and
               nRandomNumber is smaller than the other bridge's nRandomNumber.

               time span. Please call requestChange() after the remote counterpart has
               called commitChange().
            -1 if the nRandomNumber is of the same value as the previously
               sent requestChange (sent by the remote counterpart). This is a draw :o).
