[issue11618] Locks broken wrt timeouts on Windows

[Kristján Valur Jónsson]

I understand what he meant, but that wasn't the intent of the patch.  The patch is to use simulated critical sections using a semaphore, same as the new GIL implementation already does.

If you want dynamic runtime detection, then this is a feature request :)
I'm not sure we do it elsewhere in Python, and the benefit is doubtful...
