  //     An object oriented event demultiplexor and event handler
  //     Msg_WFMO_Reactor for Win32 MsgWaitForMultipleObjects.
  //
  // = DESCRIPTION
  //
  //     The ACE_Msg_WFMO_Reactor is an object-oriented event
  //     demultiplexor and event handler Reactor. It differs from
  //     WFMO_Reactor by its ability to react on Windows messages. It
  //     is needed when the task should serve also as a COM/DCOM
  //     server.
  //
public:
  // = Initialization and termination methods.

  // added to the <size> parameter which will store handles used for
  // internal management purposes.

  // This event loop driver blocks for up to <max_wait_time> before
  // returning.  It will return earlier if timer events, I/O events,
  // window events, or signal events occur.  Note that <max_wait_time>
  // can be 0, in which case this method blocks indefinitely until
  // events occur.
  //
  // <max_wait_time> is decremented to reflect how much time this call
  // took.  For instance, if a time value of 3 seconds is passed to
  // handle_events and an event occurs after 2 seconds,
  // <max_wait_time> will equal 1 second.  This can be used if an
  // application wishes to handle events for some fixed amount of
  // time.
  //
  // <MsgWaitForMultipleObjects> is used as the demultiplexing call
  //
  // Returns the total number of <ACE_Event_Handler>s that were
  // dispatched, 0 if the <max_wait_time> elapsed without dispatching
  // any handlers, or -1 if an error occurs.
  //
  // The only difference between <alertable_handle_events> and
  // <handle_events> is that in the alertable case, MWMO_ALERTABLE is
  // passed to <MsgWaitForMultipleObjects> for the <bAlertable>
  // option.
