 * This header defines Empire's abstract thread interface.  There are

 *
 * Empire threads are non-preemptive, i.e. they run until they
 * voluntarily yield the processor.  The thread scheduler then picks
 * one of the runnable threads.  The most common form of yielding the
 * processor is sleeping for some event to happen.
