A mutex for inter-process ;-)

Hi all:
I have recently written a small set of routines that allow
two process to have a "mutex" between them.. actually it allows
all of the threads in any set of processes to have mutexes between
themselves ;-)
Anyway it seems to be working fairly well.. I still have to write a
man page
for it (documentation always last).. and eventually I would like to
port in
some of the WITNESS type features since the mutex's have names..
I probably should also think about scaling it up a bit.. right now its
really
more for a small scale (100 or less mutexes)...
Who should I talk to about getting this in... having it reviewed etc.
I think
it belongs in libthr since it really needs the tid of the pthreads
from the
pthread_t type... and for now I have a horrible hack in to get it ;-)
Thanks
R
