# --
#  feature:
#  provides synchronization for multiple threads.
#
#  class methods:
#  * ThreadsWait.all_waits(thread1,...)
#    waits until all of specified threads are terminated.
#    if a block is supplied for the method, evaluates it for
#    each thread termination.
#  * th = ThreadsWait.new(thread1,...)
#    creates synchronization object, specifying thread(s) to wait.
#  
#  methods:
#  * th.threads
#    list threads to be synchronized
#  * th.empty?
#    is there any thread to be synchronized.
#  * th.finished?
#    is there already terminated thread.
#  * th.join(thread1,...) 
#    wait for specified thread(s).
#  * th.join_nowait(threa1,...)
#    specifies thread(s) to wait.  non-blocking.
#  * th.next_wait
#    waits until any of specified threads is terminated.
#  * th.all_waits
#    waits until all of specified threads are terminated.
#    if a block is supplied for the method, evaluates it for
#    each thread termination.
