I see no problem with all the backends that need it sharing the same 
mutex. I can't believe anybody would care if initialization of one 
backend blocks the initialization of another. This would require a 
multithreaded program where two threads decided to simultaneously start 
rendering on two different backends. Much less likely than two threads 
starting on the same backend, which would block anyway.
