I have a class this does this if you want it.
If you wanna store HANDLES in the table (which is itself a HANDLE) this
table will handle that too.  All you have to supply the map and compare
functions as a sort of sub-class.
No real big deal, Just lock the handle the HashTable class
gives you for mapping and lock both during the compare.
