Implement Win32 mutexes. Implement Win32 mutexes; they used to just be mapped on top of events, which is not the same thing at all. The implementation is pretty much the obvious one, similar to the current critical section implementation and the semaphore implementation; a single lock count protected by a pthread mutex, and an event lockers can sleep on to know when the mutex is available. Also make CreateMutexA and ReleaseMutex available even if QuickTime codecs support is not configured.

software scaler filter docs

-ssf cgb=<float> chrominance gaussian blur
	useful for videos with some chroma (color) noise (TV captures, VHS, ...)

-ssf lgb=<float> -> luminance gaussian blur
	hmm, mostly special effect, could be used as lame noise reducer though

-ssf chs=<int> -> shift chrominance horizontally
-ssf cvs=<int> -> shift chrominance vertically
	useful if the luma & chroma are not aligned exactly

-ssf cs=<float> -> chrominance sharpen
-ssf ls=<float> -> luminance sharpen
	simple sharpening filter

note: these will only work if the swscaler is used at all (use -vf scale)

example: mplayer foobar.avi -vf scale -ssf lgb=3.0
