In pthreads-win32 this will be determined by the behaviour of 
Win32's WaitForMultipleObjects() and ReleaseSemaphore() routines, 
which are at the centre of pthread_cond_*().

I think Win32 semaphore releases are FIFO, like Win32 mutexes.

Do not count on an answer that uniformly applies to all platforms...
