Other than the documentation tweak below, I didn't see anything wrong with this.

    This needs to be fixed "must to be"

In order to do this correctly, I am designing a general-purpose thread pool that can be used for SIP or for anything else in Asterisk if desired. I am basing the design of the thread pool off of the thread pool used in Asterisk SCF.

The set of changes provided here introduces a listener model. When a taskprocessor's state changes (e.g. a task is added, the queue becomes empty) the listener is notified. The listener may then take whatever action it desires. If the listener wants to execute all tasks in a single thread, it can. If it would rather allow for multiple threads to execute threads, it can facilitate that instead.

Unit tests are included in this patch set that show that the default taskprocessor listener behaves as expected. A unit test has also been added to ensure that listener callbacks are called when expected and that the data provided in the callbacks is accurate.
