Thread-safe code that builds on libs that are not thread-safe, which makes
the endproduct not thread-safe.

Correct, the bindings are ok; it's things like the MessageBox wrapper that
aren't thread-safe.
I wonder what would be more useful: make the current wrappers thread-safe,
or introduce a set of thread-safe independent wrappers, or forget about
threading and work on an IPC component?
All of them have their pros/cons, and having them all is probably best, but
which one do you think is easiest?
Thanks!
