 *            $Id$
 *  @desc     This module implements _one_ generic synchronization mechanism
 *            for TTCN-3 test cases with one or more test components.
 *            Key concept is here that one test component acts as a
 *            synchronization server which listens and triggers one or more
 *            synchronization clients. It is recomended to use the MTC always as
 *            the synchronization server but in theory also a PTC can act as such
 *            a server.<br><br>
 *            This synchronization is used by calling a function on
 *            the server test component to wait for a desired amount of clients
 *            to notify the server that they have reached a specific synchronization
 *            point. Each client test component must call another
 *            function to perform this notification.<br><br>
 *            In the event that a client is not able to reach a synchronization
 *            point the server sends out a signal to all clients to abort the
 *            test case. This signal is a STOP message which can be caught by
 *            a test component default which in turn can then run a proper
 *            shut down behavior based on the current state of the test
 *            component. <br><br>
 *            Note that this synchronization mechanism can also be used
 *            in a special mode called "self synchronization" when a test case
 *            only has one test component. Here, the test component in essence
 *            acts as a server and client at the same time. The main benefit of
 *            using self synchoronization is that the same shutdown mechanisms
 *            can also be reused fomr the multi component test cases. <br><br>
 *            This module contains a lot of TTCN-3 definitions. It has been
 *            structured into tree main groups to help the user to identify
 *            quickly relevant TTCN-3 definitions. For rookie users of this
 *            module basicUserRelevantDefinitions should offer all the needed
 *            definitions. Advanced users can consider use of definitions in
 *            advancedUserRelevantDefinitions. Finally, internalDefinitions
 *            are definitions which are required for the module to work
 *            properly but do not need to be used in your code. Remember that
 *            the main motiviation of this sychronization module is to offer
 *            are _simple_ user interface. Practice has shown that when writing
 *            actual test component behavior _only a handful_ of functions
 *            usually wind up being used! Also check the synchronization examples
 *            module for example uses of this synchronization mechanism.<br><br>
 *            The invocation of the sync functions is also closely tied
 *            to the verdict control functions which should also be reviewed
 *            prior to using this module. <br><br>
 *            This module has been derived from EtsiCommon_Synchronization
 *            which was created in ETSIs STF256/276. It has been kept
 *            intentionally separate to avoid conflicts with future ETSI
 *            test suite releases.
 *  @see      LibCommon_Sync.basicUserRelevantDefinitions
 *  @see      LibCommon_Sync.advancedUserRelevantDefinitions
 *  @remark   End users should be aware that any changes made to the  in
 *            definitions this module may be overwritten in future releases.
 *            End users are encouraged to contact the distributers of this
 *            module regarding their modifications or additions so that future
 *            updates will include your changes.
