Detailed Description

Defines the classes Thread, Lock, and SignalLock. These provide portable wrappers around native thread functions (pthreads on Unix and CriticalRegion and Events on Windows)

Do not include this file if you do not need it. On Windows it includes <windows.h> which causes considerable havoc by polluting the namespace with macros and symbols.
