WINDOWS CE: There is a collection of Windows CE functions to simulate
semaphores using only a mutex and an event. As Windows CE events cannot
be named, these simulated semaphores cannot be named either.
Implementation notes:
1. All required internal data structures are allocated on the process's heap.
2. Where appropriate, a new error code is returned (see the header
file), or, if the error is a Win32 error, that code is unchanged.
3. Notice the new handle type "SYNCHHANDLE" that has handles, counters,
and other information. This structure will grow as new objects are added
to this set; some members are specific to only one or two of the objects.
4. Mutexes are used for critical sections. These could be replaced with
CRITICAL_SECTION objects but then this would give up the time out
capability.
5. The implementation shows several interesting aspects of synchronization, some
of which are specific to Win32 and some of which are general. These are pointed
out in the comments as appropriate.
6. The wait function emulates WaitForSingleObject only. An emulation of
WaitForMultipleObjects is much harder to implement outside the kernel,
and it is not clear how to handle a mixture of WCE semaphores and normal
events and mutexes. */

Requires a counter, a mutex to protect the counter, and an
autoreset event.
Here are the rules that must always hold between the autoreset event
and the mutex (any violation of these rules by the CE semaphore functions
will, in all likelihood, result in a defect):
1. No thread can set, pulse, or reset the event,
nor can it access any part of the SYNCHHANDLE structure,
without first gaining ownership of the mutex.
BUT, a thread can wait on the event without owning the mutex
(this is clearly necessary or else the event could never be set).
2. The event is in a signaled state if and only if the current semaphore
count ("CurCount") is greater than zero.
3. The semaphore count is always >= 0 and <= the maximum count */
