Detailed Description

The ThreadEngine class has the responsibility of initialising Thread derived classes. It does this by creating operating system level threads which are then associated with the class transparently. This allows Thread classes to be derived without needing to know how the OS implements threads. You should ensure that any sections of code that use threads are threadsafe and do not interact with any other parts of the code which are NOT known threadsafe! If you really MUST access non-threadsafe code from a Thread, use the Mutex class to wrap access to the code carefully.
