Good point - it's unfair to expect people to run Visual C and look
at its .cod / .asm listing files as my message suggests.  I'll document
the vcomp execution model better in my next draft.

So I'll guess from the names.

No, those are called at the start of a new parallel section
by every participating thread.  They set up thread-local stuff.

It means 'Run this helper function on all cores, and pass it these
parameters, which are all pointers to local variables'.

It's a boolean saying whether to actually run in parallel, or just in
the current thread.

I'm going to give Maarten's suggestion a shot.  If it works, the
only assembly left will be a nearly verbatim copy of code in oleaut32/typelib.c

Yes, your questions are very helpful.  I'll run the next draft by both
you and Maarten if you don't mind.
