Awesome bot! :)

I will not be maintaining the POSIX semaphore patch set as I have a better
replacement in the works (well, it's been sitting for most of the last year,
but I plan on completing it in the next few months).  Using POSIX
synchronization is a no-go for Wine because it's design is flawed in that they
cannot be used to interact in between 32- and 64-bit code.  Further, the way
they use shared memory doesn't offer much integrity guarantees for when one
process misbehaves.  One process can corrupt the object in shared memory
causing another to crash, which isn't acceptable for Wine.

For now it's best to use the older hack and Ronny Schmatzler's rebase is the
latest (I'll try to rebase that soon).
