Well that, and mutex was 'simple', I didn't have to go rip out all the legacy PI crud. If this all ends up working well, the solution is 'simple' and we can simply copy mutex to rt_mutex or something along those lines if we want to keep the distinction between them. Alternatively we simply delete rt_mutex. Thanks for reviving this.. it's been an 'interesting' year and a half since I wrote all this and I've really not had time to work on it.
