Attachment: part 2 - Initial conversion

This doesn't build because CondVars do need an update too.

I won't be working further on this bug. In the end, that didn't solve all my problems, and I could solve them some other way. I'm merely attaching this work so that people who would want to go ahead with this bug don't have to start from scratch.

This should be much easier to finish now that we can rely on Window's built-in condition variables because XP is gone.

We did this already.
