Subject: [boost] [threadpool] new version - fork/join (recursive/fibers)

Hello,
after the discussion yesterday I've modified the code. Now the pool can be
configured (second template argument of tp::pool) to use recursive invokation
of tasks or fibers in order to enable fork/join semantics.
I've found that the recursive invokation is more than two times faster than
using fibers (see examples recursive_fibonacci_recursive_task.cpp and
recursive_fibonacci_with_fibers.cpp).
The code using fibers sometimes raises an assertion in ~mutex() (used in
work-stealing queue).
For this reason and following the discussions I think I'll remove the support
for fibers from threadpool.
regards,
OPliver
