This is the only obstacle on our way to Windows XP support, at the moment.

Just tested on Windows XP: NtWaitForKeyedEvent does not accept a null handle on Windwos XP while on Windows 7 a null handle designates a potentially pre-allocated keyed event. This renders mcfgthread unusable on Windows XP.
