 We currently have a number of problems that is due to different issues
 around the Windows event loop:

 - We do not have bi-directional communication with sub-processes, which
 limits what we can do with PT's and the upcoming Onion Naming Service sub-
 process.

 - We should look into whether we dynamically can check if the Windows
 version that Tor is running on supports UNIX domain sockets such that Tor
 Browser can do its "network-less sandbox"-feature where it connects to Tor
 via the UNIX domain sockets. See:
