/**
* Ito condition. This is a fairly simple condition mechanism. As you may
* notice this class inherits from the ItoMutex class, this is because all
* conditions must be within a locked block. The standard usage of a
* condition is to pause one thread, perhaps indefinately, until another
* thread signals that it is alright to procede.
* <br>
* Standard usage for the thread that wants to wait is as follows:
* <pre>
* ItoCondition cond;
* ... // Perform setup and enter your run loop
* cond.lock();
* while( !isFinished() ) // Could be anything you're waiting for
* cond.wait();
* ... // Take care of what you have to.
* cond.unlock();
* </pre>
* The usage for the triggering thread is much simpler, when it needs to
* tell the others that it's time to grab some data it calls either signal
* or broadcast. See both of those functions for the difference.
