I've been under the impression that the developers were opposed to a
threaded server because of the complete lack of consistency in threading
behavior across platforms.  However, I don't see how doing it as a
multiprocess server as apposed to a multithreaded server affects embedded
use - as long as it can simply be called from a library, why would a user
or developer care?
