/** \class MultiThreader
 * \brief A class for performing multithreaded execution
 *
 * Multithreader is a class that provides support for multithreaded
 * execution using pthread_create on any platform
 * supporting POSIX threads.  This class can be used to execute a single
 * method on multiple threads, or to specify a method per thread.
 *
 * \ingroup OSSystemObjects
 *
 * If ITK_USE_PTHREADS is defined, then
 * pthread_create() will be used to create multiple threads (on
 * a sun, for example).
 * \ingroup ITKCommon
