See the recent comments on 1958930. David is providing oxygen.
I need to study his IOCPSOCK implementation first, but basically I
propose to first do a half-rationalization to remove the
TerminateThread (but keep the thread). Then for the
full-rationalization (remove the thread), much more work is needed but
I know I can count on him.

In the meantime, I would be very grateful for a review of 304 ;-)
I also have a plan for overhauling [exec], but I'm a bit of a sequential guy...
