It depends on the implementation.  On some, including linux, there is 
nothing to free.  That's why I call it FAST_MUTEX_INIT_DESTROY.

Please stop nick picking, it is not that important.  What I had worked on 
my implementation.  The Mutex class is just an example, I expect it to be 
substituted with a boost lock class.

Do you even care about the rest of my code, or does this one "sin" make 
the rest of my code invalid?  (Sorry I had to get it out, I really hate 
when people who pick apart insignificant details and ignore the rest.)
