why inherit? you can store boost::thread's (or classes that contain a  
boost::thread) in a ptr_vector.

I don't understand why there even is a class thread_group.
it seems to me it was only intended to work around the fact that  
thread's are non-Assignable, which is much better solved by  
MoveAssignable in the future, and pointer containers or swap()ing in  
the meantime.
