Detailed Description

This class is a simple wrapper arount the system-level synchronization primitives and encapsulates a global object that a Mutex object can lock/unlock. In order for several threads to be able to use it, this object has to be global, i.e. either a global variable, or one on the heap. I suppose it would be possible to use a local instance, making sure that all threads have access to it for as long as they need to, but that would be very bad programming practice and thus it is in some way discouraged by the mere name of the class.
