Hi,

I would like to deprecate the following features in Boost.Thread:

* Mutex::scoped_lock and Mutex::scoped_try_lock so that we can make mutex types independent from locks. The user should use instead unique_lock<Mutex> and the new public class try_unique_lock.

Is try_unique_lock a new lock type? How is it different from unique_lock with try_to_lock argument?

* condition: This was there for forward compatibility since 1.35. The user should use instead condition_variable_any.

What do you think?

I'm ok with it.
