[boost] Re: Boost.Threads: Do we need all those mutexes?

While reading a discussion concerning different types of mutexes and guards in 
Boost, I thought it would be pertinent to highlight another possible approach
to implement a multithreading library. In libMAGE 
(http://libmage.sourceforge.net/), we have a universal lock (unilock) 
abstraction, that provides a common way for construction of different lock 
managers (exclusive, read/write and even more complicated ones) with 
replaceable scheduling strategies. Furthermore, they can be easily adapted to 
mutex interface and used, for example, in methods of condition objects.
