I remember those. You said that the solution however is highly
compiler/platform dependent, didn't you?

So if the mutex ctor cannot be hidden from the public user interface,
how should we ever hope to be able to manage this in an compiler
independent way? Any ideas?

In a private discussion we had, I got the impression, that you were
interested in the idea of a POD mutex. Do you still think this is an
idea we should pursue?
