#define PROXY_ALWAYS  0x0004   // ignore check to see if the eventQ is on the same thread as the caller, and alway return a proxied object.

//#define AUTOPROXIFICATION

// WARNING about PROXY_ASYNC:  
//
// If the calling thread goes away, any function which accesses the calling stack 
// will blow up.
//
//  example:
//
//     myFoo->bar(&x)
//
//     ... thread goes away ...
//
//    bar(PRInt32 *x)
//    {
//         *x = 0;   <-----  You will blow up here.
//
//   
//  So what gets saved?  
//
//  You can safely pass base types by value.  You can also pass interface pointers.
//  I will make sure that the interface pointers are addrefed while they are being 
//  proxied.  You can also pass string and wstring.  These I will copy and free.
//
//  I do **NOT** copy arrays or strings with size.  If you are using these either
//  change your interface, or contact me about this feature request.
