Detailed Description

An interface onto the operating system Critical Section API. Note that this class only provides the basic Enter() and Leave() functionality, should TryEnter() ever be required then it's likely that a new interface will be added that includes this rather than extending this interface to include it.

Public Member Functions
virtual void	Enter ()=0
	Enter the critical section and lock other threads outside.
virtual void	Leave ()=0
	Leave the critical section and allow another thread to enter.
virtual	~ICriticalSection ()
	Instances of this interface can be deleted by their users.
Classes
class	ConditionalOwner
	A class that may take ownership of an instance of ICriticalSection. That is it calls Enter() in the constructor and Leave() in the destructor (but only if locked passed as true to the constructor) and can therefore be used to support scope based locking and unlocking of instances of ICriticalSection.

class	Owner
