/*!
 \ingroup jobs
 \brief Base class for jobs that are executed asynchronously.

 Clients of the CJobManager should subclass CJob and provide the DoWork() function. Data should be
 passed to the job on creation, and any data sharing between the job and the client should be kept to within
 the callback functions if possible, and guarded with critical sections as appropriate.

 Jobs typically fall into two groups: small jobs that perform a single function, and larger jobs that perform a
 sequence of functions.  Clients with small jobs should implement the IJobCallback::OnJobComplete() callback to receive results.
 Clients with larger jobs may wish to implement both the IJobCallback::OnJobComplete() and IJobCallback::OnJobProgress()
 callbacks to receive updates.  Jobs may be cancelled at any point by the client via CJobManager::CancelJob(), however
 effort should be taken to ensure that any callbacks and cancellation is suitably guarded against simultaneous thread access.

 Handling cancellation of jobs within the OnJobProgress callback is a threadsafe operation, as all execution is
 then in the Job thread.
