I had to disable something because SendMessageToHousekeepingProcess() 
cannot work on Win32. I chose the route that allowed me to remove the most 
code, and hence simplify as much as possible. Perhaps that was the wrong 
decision since we all agree to minimise #ifdefs, and in this case the 
locking might be useful in future. It's probably better if I just #ifdef 
out just the lock waiting loop on Win32.

Cheers, Chris.
