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.

artifact types: --------------------------------------------------------------------- ringing wave or noise like patterns around sharp edges bad: sinc, lanczos (with high filter length) acceptable: lanczos (with low filter length), cubic, spline ok: area, (fast)blinear, gauss, point blur loss of detail / high frequency bad: gauss with high variance acceptable: (fast)bilinear, area ok: others aliasing (only downscale) straight lines look like staircases areas of high detail look worse regular patterns turn into a funny looking mess (moire patterns) bad: fast bilinear, point, gauss with low variance acceptable: area ok: others blocky (upscale only) looks like the image is made of rectangular blocks like a mosaic bad: point ok: others recommendations: (based upon my personal opinion many ppl might disagree ...) --------------------------------------------------------------------- the recommended scalers for upscaling: fast_bilinear, point if speed is important cubic, spline, lanczos if quality is important the recommended scalers for downscaling: fast_bilinear, point if speed is important gauss, bilinear if quality is important cubic, spline, lanczos if a sharper picture is important note: when encoding at a limited amount of bits (not constant quantizer) then a slightly blurred input might look better after decoding than a slightly sharpened one, especially for lower bitrates sws numbers / names / artifact types ------------------------------------------------------------------------- r ringing b blurry a aliasing (downscale only) m mosaic (blocky) (upscale only) -sws 0 fast bilinear bA -sws 1 bilinear b -sws 2 bicubic high sharpness r low sharpness b -sws 3 experimental ???? -sws 4 nearest neighbour AM -sws 5 area ba -sws 6 luma bicubic / chroma bilinear r -sws 7 gauss low sharpness B high sharpness AM -sws 8 sinc R -sws 9 lanczos long filter R short filter b -sws 10 bicubic spline r Notes: area upscale is identical to bilinear
