'lightweight_mutex' can't be safely initialized statically and there is 
no "lightweight_once". Without either of it, the Singleton wouldn't work 
properly with shared libraries - and so would the libraries using it.

I'd have to go for the native threading APIs or extend the "lightweight 
suite". I put it on my list, for now.
