/**
 * A standard mutex, or mutual exclusion lock.  Only one thread can hold
 * ("lock") a mutex at any given time; other threads trying to grab the mutex
 * will block until the holding thread releases it.
 *
 * The standard mutex is not reentrant: a thread may not attempt to lock it
 * twice.  Although this may happen to work on some platforms (e.g.  Win32),
 * it will not work on all platforms; on some platforms, a thread can deadlock
 * itself by attempting to lock the same mutex twice.  If your code requires a
 * reentrant mutex, use the ReMutex class instead.
 *
 * This class inherits its implementation either from MutexDebug or
 * MutexDirect, depending on the definition of DEBUG_THREADS.
