Subject: epicsMutexLockWithTimeout not supported in 3.14.1

Hello -

We use two device/driver support packages here at SSRL that require
the functionality of epicsMutexLockWithTimeout which is no longer supported 
in 3.14.1.  In ipac, it's only needed by the canRead diagnostic routine so I simply 
used the same logic I found in epics base/src/db/dbLock.c which does a little 
loop with try/wait.   But in ether_ip, this functionality is a key part of the support.

There was discussion about this in core-talk and a few sentences in the 3.14.1 
release notes, but it's not clear the best way to port from epicsMutexLockWithTimeout 
(or vxWorks semTake with a non-WAIT_FOREVER timeout) to something
equivalent.

Any suggestions?  Thank you,

Stephanie Allison
