I'd rather not take the chance of doing anything that messes with the poor thread we're hijacking. Hmm... http://lwn.net/Articles/7577/ makes me think that converting a linux thread to a win32 thread might require initializing the thread's TLS area. We'll look at that a bit.
Basically everything along the Wine CreateThread codepath .... setting up a server connection, registering it with the server, initializing the TEB, signal setup, synchronizing the Wine VM list with the Linux VM list, allocating a guard page, doing thread attach notifications and finally calling the entrypoint inside a SEH backstop handler.
Quite a lot of work, really, so I think it's easier to create the thread from another Wine thread somehow.
