== BaseThreadManager ==

A virtual base class that manages threads.
Constructor has 2 parameters:
- `thread_count`: the maximum number of thread that can be created by this manager.
- `thread_min`: (''default'': `thread_count`) the minimun number of thread that must created by this manager.

Thread manager will create `thread_min` upon `Start()` and then create up to `thread_count` when job count is higher than the current number of threads.

Each `TickGame()`, if the number of job is higher than the current number of threads, it will stop enough threads so the current count goes down to `thread_min`.

Some Implementations are available in this file : [browser:trunk/src/lol/sys/threadtypes.h]

=== DefaultThreadManager ===

An default implementation of the BaseThreadManager that is fed with non-specific job, perform them and store them upon completion so you can gather the results.
