The SyncMutex class

INTRODUCTION
	A cross-platform, native implementation of named and unnamed countable mutex objects.

	A  mutex  is  a  mutual  exclusion object that restricts access to a shared resource (e.g. a file) to a single instance. Countable mutexes
       acquire the mutex a single time and internally track the number of times the mutex is locked. The mutex is unlocked as soon as it goes  out
       of scope or is unlocked the same number of times that it was locked.
