(Delphi DLL) Finalize Thread Pool

In some programming environments, such as VB6, FoxPro, and others (especially anything using the Chilkat ActiveX), it may be necessary to call FinalizeThreadPool just before your program exits. Otherwise a hard crash can happen. (This has only been known to happen in programs written in VB6, FoxPro, etc.)
