The threads are doing socket stuff, and I want to terminate them gracefully when
the application exits (currently they use a shared event that I signal when its
time to terminate).  I don't like the idea of my application closing while
socket threads are still active - I like things to be as clean as possible.

FWIW, I think your try_join proposal is an excellent idea.
