to be more clear: the given file is basically:
<snip>
#if HAVE_POSIX_SEMAPHORES
# include <semaphores.h>
#else
/* BSD-4-clause implementation here */
</snip>

i think we can assume that we do have posix-semaphores, so we can get
rid of the file alltogether.

after a quick inspection, it turns out that the file is used by 3
C-files, so that's easy to handle.

the bad news is, that bg_sem.h is installed into /usr/include/gmerlin,
so we sould indeed have to provide a replacement, to keep source-code
compatible

<snip>
#include <semaphores.h>
</snip>
