Note that the GStaticRecMutex can also be used as non-static:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list/2002-January/msg00045.html

It looks like recursive non-static mutexes is the only reason why EMutex
is still in place.

I'm willing to replace all those remaining mutexes to GStaticRecMutex if
such a patch would eventually be applied. So are there any remaining
issues with the GLib GThread mutex implementations?

I'd like to do this to further decoupling camel from libedataserver.
