I don't know much about thread groups, so that might be a better  
solution.  I'll have to do some reading up to learn more about them.

However, I don't think that join_all() is an option in this case,  
because I need to be inside a Mac event loop in order to receive the  
messages that will launch the additional threads.  Since join_all()  
would block until the existing threads had completed, I would never  
receive the events telling me that I needed to launch additional  
threads.
