Last time I looked this is only true for Win32, the Unix version seems
to be very different and is implemented with semaphores.
Someone submitted a patch a while ago to make this so for all
platforms. The reason it was different for Unix was that this unit
predates the existence of tbasicrtlevent.
Is there a
reason why those routines are not simply based POSIX condition
variables?
tbasicrtlevent for Unix is still not based on condition variables,
because Windows events are persistent and condition variables are not.
