Apart from the feedback/"arguments" (mainly: DO *NOT*
REINVENT THE WHEEL; See how THE STANDARD (POSIX/Pthreads)
does/defines this or that; *C* compatibility IS important,
and tiny technicalities w.r.t condvars/once-init/timedmutex/
cancel/exit and "alternative" sketchy stuff (thread_ptr/
mythread.c) aside) that I've already provided here (see the
boost devlist archives) since many, many months ago, you

  later, and would greatly appreciate if you could
  be so kind and share your opinions too.)
