* global.c (PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER): Move to pthread.h. * pthread.h (PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER): Define. (pthread_mutex_t): Reimplement as a struct containing a valid flag. If the flag is ever down upon entry to a mutex operation, we call pthread_mutex_create() to initialise the object. This fixes the problem of how to handle statically initialised objects that can't call InitializeCriticalSection() due to their context. * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_init): Set valid flag. (pthread_mutex_destroy): Clear valid flag. (pthread_mutex_lock): Check and handle the valid flag. (pthread_mutex_unlock): Likewise. (pthread_mutex_trylock): Likewise. * tests/mutex3.c: New file; test for the static initialisation macro. Passes.
