Fix the fix to Windows locking For https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737851 Unfortunately this change has introduced a problem which results in occasional hangs on Windows when running multi-threaded on a multi-core host. When locking the xmlRMutex the count field is increment inside the critical section but when unlocking the count field is decremented outside the critical section. The increment/decrement is not atomic so this can result in the count field being updated incorrectly. The solution is to change xmlRMutexUnlock to decrement the count field before leaving the critical section rather than after.

To build on an Unixised setup:
./configure ; make ; make install
To build on Windows:
see instructions on win32/Readme.txt
To assert build quality:
on an Unixised setup:
run make tests
otherwise:
There is 3 standalone tools runtest.c runsuite.c testapi.c, which
should compile as part of the build or as any application would.
Launch them from this directory to get results, runtest checks
the proper functionning of libxml2 main APIs while testapi does
a full coverage check. Report failures to the list.
