+ * direction of each handle. Technically it isn't necessary for
+ * serial ports, since we could use overlapped I/O within the main
+ * thread and wait directly on the event objects in the OVERLAPPED

+ * OVERLAPPED to files which were opened with the overlapped flag -
+ * and so we must use threads for those. This being the case, it's
+ * simplest just to use threads for everything rather than trying
+ * to keep track of multiple completely separate mechanisms.)
