I understand that, but there will be IFDEF's none the less. As I said, I
hate IFDEF's in application/library code. They have their place in FPC
source code, but I don't like them anywhere else. That's just me.

Having a clean Object Pascal based Semaphore implementation will be
useful, and clean code. My unit testing and usage of it in tiOPF on
Windows, Linux and FreeBSD will hopefully prove that it works too.

Once done, I'll post a link to the code. You are welcome to see if it
will fit in the SyncObjs unit.
