/**
 * @class ACE_Condition_Thread_Mutex
 *
 * @brief ACE_Condition variable wrapper written using ACE_Mutexes This
 * allows threads to block until shared data changes state.
 * A condition variable enables threads to atomically block and
 * test the condition under the protection of a mutual exclu-
 * sion lock (mutex) until the condition is satisfied.  That is,
 * the mutex must have been held by the thread before calling
 * wait or signal on the condition.  If the condition is false,
 * a thread blocks on a condition variable and atomically
 * releases the mutex that is waiting for the condition to
 * change.  If another thread changes the condition, it may wake
 * up waiting threads by signaling the associated condition
 * variable.  The waiting threads, upon awakening, reacquire the
 * mutex and re-evaluate the condition.
 *
 * This should be an instantiation of ACE_Condition but problems
 * with compilers precludes this...
