Okay, that could make sense, if done correctly.

You still export in the API, and use, Windows-specific code, that
moreover uses shitty timeouts and busy loops. Even if you fixed the most
blatant mistakes, this API and "design" for lua interfaces is still
retarded.

Besides, you didn't address my other comments or even questions on the
C code. Nor were you willing to engage in design discussion besides
"better something questionable but that works" and "I chose this design
because it was fun to code". This is "unfriendly".

I'd still NAK this patch.
