Add support for PRE_SHUTDOWN service control event Reworks the existing code to use RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerExW instead of the older RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerW function. This allows handlers to then receive the new extended control signals such as PRE_SHUTDOWN which allows for blocking of the shutdown process for long cleanups on versions of Windows above Win2k3. The assembly code for amd64 and 386 has been modified to suppor the different call signature of the RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerExW procedure and the handler modified to comply with the extended callback/handler call signature required by the new procedure. For more info on RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerExW see the MSDN documentation here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/ms685058.aspx 2014-12-11 14:09:41 +03:00			`It includes additional patches from Multiplay to support the extended service`
