Consider giving the unix #define a more unique name
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AMQCPP-31
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQCPP-31
             Project: ActiveMQ C++ Client
          Issue Type: Wish
    Affects Versions: 1.0, 1.1
            Reporter: Albert Strasheim
         Assigned To: Nathan Mittler


src\main\activemq\concurrent\Mutex.h and 
src\main\activemq\concurrent\Thread.cpp check if "unix" is defined to enable 
UNIX-specific functionality.

>From what I've seen in other projects, it's considered a good practice to 
>"scope" your defines, i.e. unix should rather be something like 
>ACTIVEMQ_CPP_UNIX. This virtually eliminates problems when integrating 
>multiple libraries, where defines like "unix" might mean different things to 
>different libraries, meaning the user will have to do some messy preprocessor 
>gymnastics when trying to include headers from multiple libraries in the same 
>file.

This also provides an obvious naming convention for other defines. Need, e.g., 
OpenBSD-specific code? Use ACTIVEMQ_CPP_OPENBSD. On Unix systems, autoconf can 
probably take care of this kind of thing.
