Detailed Description

This class is used instead of a true lock class when not using multithreading. It allows to write programs such that they start new threads and/or lock objects in multithreading mode, and use dummy thread management and synchronization classes instead when running in single- thread mode. Specifically, the new_thread() functions only call the function but wait for it to return instead of running in on another thread, and the mutexes do nothing really. The only reason to provide such a function is that the program can be compiled both in MT and non-MT mode without difference.
