Augment of Mr. Dillon's work: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/32489-semaphore
This provides an interface with POSIX semaphore functionality on the native platform. Windows doesn't implement the POSIX semaphore API, so the Windows API equivalents are used if compiled on Windows.
To install/compile: mex -O -v semaphore.c
