<nod> This is the reason I'm interested in Preston's work.  I see it  
as a test of the N2447 (http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2447.htm 
) interface.  I've been perusing interruptable_mutex.h this morning  
and noting that a lot of the complication is in dealing with the older  
boost::mutex interface (lock_ops and all that).  I'd be very  
interested in seeing this recast to the newer interface, just for the  
purpose of testing the new interface.
