A lock that prioritizes acquire()s?

[David M Chess]

Lovely, thanks for the ideas!  I remember considering having release() 
pick the next thread to notify, where all the waiters were sitting on 
separate Conditions or whatever; not sure why I didn't pursue it to the 
end.  Probably distracted by something shiny; or insufficient brainpower.
