There are two different event families: intrtlevent and  
basicrtlevent. I have no idea what the history behind the two  
different taxonomies is, nor what their supposed functional  
differences are. basicrtlevent was implemented from the start using  
semaphores, intrtlevent using conditional variables. syncobjs uses  
basicrtlevent.

It's indeed possible that by now due to all of the fixes everywhere,  
they both provide exactly the same functionality, but I would have to  
check (also the Windows implementation, to see whether there are any  
differences over there).
