  \class SOPHYA::ZThread
  \ingroup SysTools
  This class provides an interface for creating and controlling threads.
  The implementation uses the POSIX thread interface.
  The ZThread objects can be sub classed with the redefinition of 
  the \c run() method which then performs the task.
  The default \c run() method of the base class can be used directly
  to perform computation through a function (see \b setAction() method)
  \sa SOPHYA::ZMutex
  The following sample code shows the usage of ZThread object 
  to run simultaneously two functions to perform computation.

  \code
  // The functions to perform computing
  void fun1(void *arg) { }
  void fun2(void *arg) { }
  // ...
  ZThread zt1;
  zt1.setAction(fun1, arg[1]);
  ZThread zt2;
  zt2.setAction(fun2, arg[1]);
  cout << " Starting threads ... " << endl;
  zt1.start();
  zt2.start();
  cout << " Waiting for threads to end ... " << endl;  
  zt1.join();
  zt2.join();
  \endcode

  This class can be used to insure that the execution of a given 
  part of the code is synchronised, i.e. only a single thread 
  goes through this at a given time.
  The constructor acquires a lock on given \b ZMutex object,
  which is released by the destructor.
  The ZSync object should then be instanciated at the beginning of 
  the synchronised instruction bloc.
