It's not unlikely that a thread may depend on static data, so by moving
thread_joinAll() until after the module dtors are called we would be pulling
the rug out from under these threads.  Instead, I suggest making threads that
interact with the module shutdown process into daemon threads by using the
"isDaemon" property.  These threads are ignored during thread_joinAll() and,
left alone, will run until the process ends.
