Basically everything along the Wine CreateThread codepath .... setting
up a server connection, registering it with the server, initializing
the TEB, signal setup, synchronizing the Wine VM list with the Linux
VM list, allocating a guard page, doing thread attach notifications
and finally calling the entrypoint inside a SEH backstop handler.
Quite a lot of work, really, so I think it's easier to create the
thread from another Wine thread somehow.
It would be, except for the scary questions of
a) whether the thread is in the middle of something that would interfere, and
b) whether jamming a CreateThread call into an existing thread might
disturb it somehow.
