+   * Approach
+   * --------
+   * We know that static mutexes will not be PROCESS_SHARED
+   * so we can serialise access to internal state using
+   * Win32 Critical Sections rather than Win32 Mutexes.
+   *
+   * If using a single global lock slows applications down too much,
+   * multiple global locks could be created and hashed on some random
+   * value associated with each mutex, the pointer perhaps. At a guess,
+   * a good value for the optimal number of global locks might be
+   * the number of processors + 1.
