it is
very convenient to not have to explicitly initialize mutexes?

Not to initialize a mutex is still wrong for pthreads.

I think Stefan was being loose with his wording. There would still be an
initializer, but it would be a constant (and in the case of pthread
emulation on Windows, would just be NULL).

And I was loose, too: Not to initialize a mutex with at least 
PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITILIZER (if not pthread_mutex_init) is still wrong.
