+
+Purpose:
+
+ A safe version of _beginthread()
+
+Description:
+
+ 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 unsure
+ that Miranda will wait for all created threads to return as well.
+
+Cavets:
+
+ The function must be reimplemented across MT plugins, since thread
+ creation depends on CRT which can not be shared.
