Detailed Description

Mutex class that abstracts away different underlying threading APIs and allows a common access to thread synchronization.
For preemptive threading implementations, the mutex will use the underlying threading APIs to setup, lock and unlock mutices, whereas for cooperative threading implementations, the mutices will do nothing when locked / unlocked, assuming that there is no concurrent execution happening anyway.
