I'm studying the code of io-layer comparing to my own work. When i finished
i'll see
the ECMA docs for the mutexes in System.Threading.
I had a talk with Dick Porter witch say me that the Win32 threading routing
are
already there , except for mutexes. The thing to do is write the required
internal calls
to make a wrapper for io-layer functions so to map these to mutexes in
System.Threading.

I see the code of io-layer and it use pthreads to get thread support.
For what threads-dummy.c should be writed?
Can you explain me better?
