Well:

  TThreadManager = Record
   // skip some stuff
    SemaphoreInit          : TSempahoreInitHandler;
    SemaphoreDestroy       : TSemaphoreDestroyHandler;
    SemaphorePost          : TSemaphorePostHandler;
    SemaphoreWait          : TSemaphoreWaitHandler;
  end;

Use GetThreadManager() to retrieve the thread manager, and then
simply use the various functions.

This should work cross-platform, but it seems that the Windows 
implementation is empty. Maybe we can use your functions to
implement the windows part.

Michael.
