Threads: Barrier Synchronization

I have uploaded a prototype implementation for barrier 
synchronization objects to the file library:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/thread_barrier.zip

These objects are implemented using boost::condition and boost::mutex.

Two designs + implementations are presented, a very simple minded 
one, and one that can support multiple synchronization "generations" 
for groups of threads.

A sample VC6 project is included...
Please see the readme.txt for an open-ended list of design questions.

Comments welcome and appreciated.
