How would you handle the one-to-many thing with MQ's?

I'm thinking something slightly simpler like POSIX named shared memory
segments quarded by POSIX mutexes.  Is there any OS that does not
support that?

Another nice thing about the mutexes is they guarantee the barrier for
you.  I'm not sure yet how to handle when a client hangs the mutex.
