You could also use the built-in types for that purpose, see D.10, 
Synchronous Task Control.

 For that, you might want to use a Synchronous Barrier, see D.10.1.

For me, I would try to do this as part of other necessary synchronization, 
using usual task or protected operations. One rarely wants to have a task 
wait in a vacuum. If I had to do it by iteself, however, I'd probably use 
one of the built-in types (have to implement them in Janus/Ada, first, 
though :-).
