\ingroup Threading
This class incapsulates an abstract cross-platform thread. It should be subclassed in order to define virtual member function Thread::main which is called soon after thread creation (see Thread::run). The thread terminates when main returns or after a call to Thread::cancel is honored by a subsequent cancellation point. A cancellation point can be created by a call to Thread::makeCancellationPoint.
This class should be compatible with any flavour of Unix that supports POSIX threads. It should also be compatible will any version of Windows that is supported by class Condition (refer to its documentation for more details). It has been tested under Linux, MacOS X, and Windows 2000/XP.

/*! \brief Implements main procedure of thread.
This virtual method must be overloaded in a derived class in order to implement the main procedure of this thread. As much as possible, and whenever it is safe to cancel execution, this method should call Thread::makeCancellationPoint so that this thread can be canceled by other threads (including deleted by the main thread). Otherwise, any thread cancellation (or deletion) will be postponed until after main returns. For instance, if main's implementation requires a loop, a cancellation point should be included at least once for each iteration.
