1. named_mutex.hpp has some serious issues on the pthread side
including:
    mp_mut is declared of type sem_t and is expected to be of type
pthread_mutex_t
    The timed_lock function operates a sem_timedwait with a
pthread_mutex_t.

2. shared_read_write_mutex.hpp has a possible issue with its exceptions:
    The exception used is a lock_error which is defined in boost::thread
(and not included in shared_read_write_mutex.hpp) vs. using the
boost::shmem::lock_exception as is used in all other boost::shmem sync
primitives.
