This sounds like an excelent idea to me. WebMacro is outside of our
control
but the threads spawned by Turbine could use it right away.

I just made a quick grep -r that revealed a number of threads that may
be started by Turbine:

GlobalCacheService (for items expiry/refresh)
TurbineSchedulerService has its own thread, and also spawns
WorkerThreads
(the WorkerThreads should not be treated as daemon threads)
IDBroker uses a thread
LargeSelect class performs some operation in a separate thread, but it
should be treated as user thread rather than daemon.

I'm +1 to making the threads of GlobalCache, Scheduler and IDBroker
daemon threads.
If there are no voices agains that I'll comit the changes in a few days.

PS. Thanks for the idea Santiago!
