Detailed Description

Managing Threads - the code to be executed in another thread is provided in functor objects derived from VTask.

VThreadManager objects are not supposed to be created in application code. To get a VThreadManager, call

   VThreadManager*VThreadCreator::getThreadManager();

Todo:

Add cache-like management, probably using the MemCore::Cache class
