   *  We compile SDL into a DLL. This means, that it's the DLL which
   *  creates a new thread for the calling process with the SDL_CreateThread()
   *  API. There is a problem with this, that only the RTL of the SDL.DLL will
   *  be initialized for those threads, and not the RTL of the calling
   *  application!
   *
   *  To solve this, we make a little hack here.
   *
   *  We'll always use the caller's _beginthread() and _endthread() APIs to
   *  start a new thread. This way, if it's the SDL.DLL which uses this API,
   *  then the RTL of SDL.DLL will be used to create the new thread, and if it's
   *  the application, then the RTL of the application will be used.
   *
   *  So, in short:
   *  Always use the _beginthread() and _endthread() of the calling runtime
   *  library!

   *    have to see what happens with your system's debugger. The name should be
   *    UTF-8 (but using the naming limits of C identifiers is a better bet).
   *   There are no requirements for thread naming conventions, so long as the
   *    string is null-terminated UTF-8, but these guidelines are helpful in
   *    choosing a name:
   *
   *    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/149932/naming-conventions-for-threads
   *
   *   If a system imposes requirements, SDL will try to munge the string for
   *    it (truncate, etc), but the original string contents will be available
   *    from SDL_GetThreadName().
