[Boost-users] Extending the boost::thread class

Hi all, 
I want to use the boost thread library as a base for my multiplatform thread
class. After I have studied the documentation I recognize that there are not
all things available at the moment what I need, so I try to find out what is
the best way to start my implementation. What I need, is to implement the
following additional methods: suspend, resume, stop (or terminate),
set_priority, get_priority, get_state and I want to have the possibility to
create threads in a suspend mode. 
I want to use the boost thread as is and extend the needed features in my
own class, but it seems so that their is at the moment no legal way to get
the internal thread resource from a created thread, so that I can implement
the missing and perhaps not portable features by my own? So what is the
prefered way to extend the thread class? Is their a reasonable way to do it
or should I build my own class from scratch? 

many thanks for any input and guess, 
regards 
Arno
