Hi,

I will start to analyze your patch this week.

I don't know if you have followed this ticket.
#7906 <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7906> 	Very bad 
performance of generic implementation of shared_mutex on windows 
<https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7906>

 From the performances presented it seems that the windows specific 
implementation will be needed, so maybe a windows specific 
implementation for shared priority mutex should also be needed. The 
problem is that the windows implementation contains some bugs and 
missing features.

Best,
Vicente
