It's a good idea.

Another simple option may be a "single list" (queue?) as a common object / 
variable. I mean... every thread can "add_finish(my_id)" to the list, and 
thread 1 can "take_finished()" from this list. Note that this acces should 
be in mutex.

Maybe it's not the best option, but it's safe ^_^  and it's (I think) like 
the async queue...

See you.
