Will your library be safe in this aspect?

Spurious wakeups are not considered to be wrong.
Use a loop around the wait to recheck the condition.

I imagine that this loop can be encapsulated in a (template)
class. I am interested in a little service so it can not be
forgotten.

Please document this detail and check the link "Strategies
for Implementing POSIX Condition Variables on Win32" on the
page
"http://boost.org/doc/html/threads.html#threads.bibliography".

A design without spurious wakeups is available by an other
library.
