+ * Possible future strategy for implementing pthread_kill()
+ * ========================================================
+ *
+ * Win32 does not implement signals.
+ * Signals are simply software interrupts.
+ * pthread_kill() asks the system to deliver a specified
+ * signal (interrupt) to a specified thread in the same
+ * process.
+ * Signals are always asynchronous (no deferred signals).
+ * Pthread-win32 has an async cancelation mechanism.
+ * A similar system can be written to deliver signals
+ * within the same process (on ix86 processors at least).
+ *
+ * Each thread maintains information about which
+ * signals it will respond to. Handler routines
+ * are set on a per-process basis - not per-thread.
+ * When signalled, a thread will check it's sigmask
+ * and, if the signal is not being ignored, call the
+ * handler routine associated with the signal. The
+ * thread must then (except for some signals) return to
+ * the point where it was interrupted.
+ *
+ * Ideally the system itself would check the target thread's
+ * mask before possibly needlessly bothering the thread
+ * itself. This could be done by pthread_kill(), that is,
+ * in the signaling thread since it has access to
+ * all pthread_t structures. It could also retrieve
+ * the handler routine address to minimise the target
+ * threads response overhead. This may also simplify
+ * serialisation of the access to the per-thread signal
+ * structures.
+ *
+ * pthread_kill() eventually calls a routine similar to
+ * ptw32_cancel_thread() which manipulates the target
+ * threads processor context to cause the thread to
+ * run the handler launcher routine. pthread_kill() must
+ * save the target threads current context so that the
+ * handler launcher routine can restore the context after
+ * the signal handler has returned. Some handlers will not
+ * return, eg. the default SIGKILL handler may simply
+ * call pthread_exit().
+ *
+ * The current context is saved in the target threads
+ * pthread_t structure.
