[boost] Re: Boost.Threads: RW mutexes and locks.

RW mutexes/locks are important to a threading library and appear simple to implement. However, Boost.Threads lacks it. I wrote something simple that appear to do the job using the functionality already available in Boost.Threads. If the idea is considered good/robust/efficient enough and worth having in the library, I can re-write it to conform with the rest of Boost.Threads.

There has been a read/write mutex on the thread_dev branch in CVS for quite some time. I've been working on it and its documentation, and should be moving it to the main branch today or tomorrow, I hope. Along with all the documentation in BoostBook format. But thanks for the offer! Mike
