+// result in a deadlock under Unix). Locking a recursive mutex in such
+// situation always succeeds and it must be unlocked as many times as it has
+// been locked.
+//
+// However recursive mutexes have several important drawbacks: first, in the
+// POSIX implementation, they're less efficient. Second, and more importantly,
+// they CAN NOT BE USED WITH CONDITION VARIABLES under Unix! Using them with
+// wxCondition will work under Windows and some Unices (notably Linux) but will
+// deadlock under other Unix versions (e.g. Solaris). As it might be difficult
+// to ensure that a recursive mutex is not used with wxCondition, it is a good
+// idea to avoid using recursive mutexes at all. Also, the last problem with
+// them is that some (older) Unix versions don't support this at all -- which
+// results in a configure warning when building and a deadlock when using them.
