+ * General information on how this module works.
+ *
+ * - Each Tcl-thread with its sockets maintains an internal window to receive
+ * socket messages from the OS.
+ *
+ * - To ensure that message reception is always running this window is
+ * actually owned and handled by an internal thread. This we call the
+ * co-thread of Tcl's thread.
+ *
+ * - The whole structure is set up by InitSockets() which is called for each
+ * Tcl thread. The implementation of the co-thread is in SocketThread(),
+ * and the messages are handled by SocketProc(). The connection between
+ * both is not directly visible, it is done through a Win32 window class.
+ * This class is initialized by InitSockets() as well, and used in the
+ * creation of the message receiver windows.
+ *
+ * - An important thing to note is that *both* thread and co-thread have
+ * access to the list of sockets maintained in the private TSD data of the
+ * thread. The co-thread was given access to it upon creation through the
+ * new thread's client-data.
+ *
+ * Because of this dual access the TSD data contains an OS mutex, the
+ * "socketListLock", to mediate exclusion between thread and co-thread.
+ *
+ * The co-thread's access is all in SocketProc(). The thread's access is
+ * through SocketEventProc() (1) and the functions called by it.
+ *
+ * (Ad 1) This is the handler function for all queued socket events, which
+ * all the OS messages are translated to through the EventSource (2)
+ * driven by the OS messages.
+ *
+ * (Ad 2) The main functions for this are SocketSetupProc() and
+ * SocketCheckProc().
