Hi, everyone !!!

	I wonder if there is a simple semaphore / lock / mutex library
available for DJGPP ? The point is that I don't want to write one
myself if it is going to be highly incompatible with something that
already exists...  I know some unixes have sys/sem.h, but DJGPP
doesn't seem to, and if it hasn't been ported yet to djgpp, I can write a
plain library (using the Test and Set opcodes of the i386) and release
it.

	For those who think it is completely useless since DOS is
single-threaded, I remind you that there is an optional task library
in djgpp, and (that's my purpose) there are hardware interrupts
occuring at (often) ill-chosen times.

CU
