Wined3d isn't thread safe yet. Threading will cause lots of problems because when you call
MakeActive with the OpenGL context it only makes the context active on the current thread so when
you switch threads you may be using a different OpenGL context. This also means that wined3d
cannot support multiple concurrent devices, unless the application is using one device per thread,
because the OpenGL context isn't being switched when the device changes.
