61    * Approach
62    * --------
63    * We know that static condition variables will not be PROCESS_SHARED
64    * so we can serialise access to internal state using
65    * Win32 Critical Sections rather than Win32 Mutexes.
66    *
67    * If using a single global lock slows applications down too much,
68    * multiple global locks could be created and hashed on some random
69    * value associated with each mutex, the pointer perhaps. At a guess,
70    * a good value for the optimal number of global locks might be
71    * the number of processors + 1.
