Hi,

I was wondering if you could just quickly tell me what the different 
mutex types do.  I'm referring to the:

        MUTEX_TYPE_STATIC_FAST
        MUTEX_TYPE_FAST
        MUTEX_TYPE_COUNTING_FAST
        MUTEX_TYPE_METERED
        MUTEX_TYPE_DEBUG

attributes/types.  I'd really appreciate any help you can give here...I'm 
trying to write a nice threaded-app, and I really need this.

HJD.
