As an side, I'm curious why boost::mutex is implemented with basic_timed_mutex on Windows. It seems like there could be a dedicated mutex implementation using CriticalSection which, as far as I know, covers the Lockable concept.
TryEnterCriticalSection doesn't exist on windows 9x, and Lockable includes a try_lock() method. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFJAcuv5vihyNWuA4URApe6AJ4w4+FOniEYtq3Z4R6PAEzukD5dWACgg8Oz ym5GzSlEh6g/zDbpF09W4Ak= =D5M3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
