There is no such animal yet, although the idea keeps coming up.
One minimal interface is just:

   template<class Lock> class mumbler {
      ...
      void mumble() {
         Lock lock;
         ...
      }
   }

Subject: [boost] Common Lock interface

    I want to write some template classes that include a lock class as one of their template parameter, so they can be easily
adapted to different locking schemes.  Does Boost have any sort of common interface I can assume for these locks, the way that the
STL assumes all iterators have certain operations like ++it and *it defined?
