+ * barrier.c: Fix several bugs in all routines. Now passes
+ tests/barrier5.c which is fairly rigorous. There is still
+ a non-optimal work-around for a race condition between
+ the barrier breeched event signal and event wait. Basically
+ the last (signalling) thread to hit the barrier yields
+ to allow any other threads, which may have lost the race,
+ to complete.

+
+ * barrier.c: Changed synchronisation mechanism to a
+ Win32 manual reset Event and use PulseEvent to signal
+ waiting threads. If the implementation continued to use
+ a semaphore it would require a second semaphore and
+ some management to use them alternately as barriers. A
+ single semaphore allows threads to cascade from one barrier
+ through the next, leaving some threads blocked at the first.
+ * implement.h (pthread_barrier_t_): As per above.
+ * general: Made a number of other routines inlinable.
