This patch will make a thread that watches parent process (federate) and triggers when it crashes.

In Windows communication between federate and RTIA is done by tcp-socket and in case of crash socket does not close immediatelly (socket time out takes a very long time). This solves the problem by watching pipe that will be RTIA's stdin. Pipes close on crashes instantly.

More details about this can be seen in thread:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/certi-devel/2014-07/msg00000.html (watch replies to it too)

This is heavy weight solution that will make RTIA drop in same way as it does in *nix side (when unix socket closes instantly on federate crash).

Lightweight solution would not contain extra socket that triggers in select, but instead thread just runs _exit(EXIT_FAILURE). Both solutions works in practise.
