Mine is windows oriented.
On a second thought, it would be better to add stuff to the existing one.
What I have in addition to the existing is:
1. onException() called from ThreadProc (=threadproxy) to let the user
decide what to do with it.
2. since in windows threads are also sync objects, I can wait for a thread
in my standard locks:
lock _lock(my_thread, my_event)
3. I use it to thread-run class member functions via a class inheriting
CThread.
