// File name      : $Source: /cvsroot/miranda/miranda/protocols/IcqOscarJ/forkthread.h,v $
// Revision       : $Revision: 2874 $
// Last change on : $Date: 2006-05-16 23:38:00 +0200 (Tue, 16 May 2006) $
// Last change by : $Author: ghazan $
//
// DESCRIPTION:
//
//   A safe version of _beginthread()
//
//   A new thread is created and the source thread is paused until
//   internal code to call MS_SYSTEM_THREAD_PUSH is made in the context
//   if the new thread.
// 
//   The source thread is then released and then the user supplied
//   code is called, when that function returns -- MS_SYSTEM_THREAD_POP
//   is called and then the thread returns.
// 
//   This insures that Miranda will not exit whilst new threads
//   are trying to be born; and the unwind wait stack will ensure
//   that Miranda will wait for all created threads to return as well.
// 
// Caveats:
// 
//   The function must be reimplemented across MT plugins, since thread
//   creation depends on CRT which can not be shared.
