Comment (by Fredrik Orderud <forderud@…>):

 I've now uploaded a 7-zip archive with an updated hierarchical_mutex
 implementation. All files are tagged with Boost license information. The
 archive also contains a tiny test suite, as well as a semi-portable
 "thread_local" emulation.

 Feel free to do what ever you want with the implementation. I hope that
 Boost could consider adopting this pattern in one way or another, since it
 makes debugging and avoiding deadlocks much easier.
