* A configurable Template for implementing Singletons.
* Actually this is a Factory object, which could be placed into a static field
* of the Singleton (target) class or used directly.
* @note internally uses static fields, so all factory instances share pInstance_
* @note there is an ongoing discussion regarding Double Checked Locking pattern,
* which in this case boils down to the question: does \c pthread_mutex_lock/unlock
* constitute a memory barrier, such as to force any memory writes done within
* the singleton ctor to be flushed and visible to other threads when releasing
* the lock? To my understanding, the answer is yes. See
* http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/basedefs/xbd_chap04.html#tag_04_10

///// the object may already have been released when the runtime system calls the
///// destructors of static objects at shutdown.
///// It seems this would either cost us much of the flexibility or get complicated
///// to a point where we could as well implement our own Dependency Injection Manager.
///// But the whole point of my pervasive use of this singleton template is to remain
///// below this borderline of integration ("IoC yes, but avoid DI").
