Discovering which critical sections threads are in

Yup, sure, I know how to do that. But the backtrace tells you which thread
blocked, and where it was when it blocked. It doesn't tell you which
thread is already inside it (so you can go find out why it never left).

In the end yesterday I just stuck some trace statements in and used emacs
to process the resulting huge file :) i feel there should be a better way
though.... maybe having a linked list of RTL_CRITICAL_SECTION structs that
the debugger can walk.
