ReadWrite lock using Boost.Threads (how to convert this simple class)

I am porting some code from windows to Linux (Ubuntu 9.10). I have a simple class (please see below), which uses windows functions to implement simple mutex locking. I want to use Boost.Threads to reimplement this, but that library is new to me.

Can someone point out the changes I need to make to the class below, in order tomuse Boost.Threads instead of the WIN specific functions?

#ifndef __my_READWRITE_LOCK_Header__
#define __my_READWRITE_LOCK_Header__

#include <windows.h>

//Simple RW lock implementation is shown below. 

#define RW_READERS_MAX 10
#define RW_MAX_SEMAPHORE_COUNT 10
#define RW_MUTEX_NAME       L"mymutex"
#define RW_SEMAPHORE_NAME   L"mysemaphore"

    }

    {
        DeleteCriticalSection(&m_cs);
        CloseHandle(m_hSem);
    }

    {
        EnterCriticalSection(&m_cs);
        WaitForSingleObject(m_hSem, INFINITE);
        LeaveCriticalSection(&m_cs);
    }

    void AcquireWriterLock()
    {
        EnterCriticalSection(&m_cs);
        for(int i = 0; i < RW_READERS_MAX; i++)

I'm not going to re-write all your code for you. However you should look into boost's shared_mutex class.

Also, this question from StackOverflow shows how to use a boost::shared_mutex
