------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 The patch attached will allow users for boost::thread_group to find/remove
 threads from the thread group with use of a predicate. The most common use
 will be finding the currently running thread. I propose this function be
 added to the this_thread namespace. The patch is self-explanatory. The
 added code was modified from the remove_thread function. Finally, the
 function to obtain the currently running thread pointer has been added to
 the this_thread namespace in the thread_group file since a thread_group is
 a parameter. I thought about adding the find_running_thread to the
 thread_group class; however, the this_thread namespace seem more
 reasonable since this_thread deals with functions specifically designed
 for the currently running thread.

 Thanks,
 Jeff Kunkel
