/**
class Thread is a portable wrapper for an operating system thread. A thread
is a thread of execution in a process. Ask Google if you don't know what that
means.
To use this class, derive from Thread and override the threadProc() method.
Simply return from this method and the thread will end.
Our Thread works on the kill-switch concept. You should write your thread
code to continually check the getKillSwitch() method to determine if you
should exit. When either getKillSwitch() returns TRUE or your processing is
done, just return from the method and the thread will end.
@short Thread object.
