/* Windows only: logic to take the Python-CFFI embedding logic
   initialization errors and display them in a background thread
   with MessageBox.  The idea is that if the whole program closes
   as a result of this problem, then likely it is already a console
   program and you can read the stderr output in the console too.
   If it is not a console program, then it will likely show its own
   dialog to complain, or generally not abruptly close, and for this
   case the background thread should stay alive.
