On Unix platforms including Cygwin, the MCE::Shared module spawns a shared-manager process unless threads is present.

1 for the main process
1 for the shared-manager process (a thread when threads is present)
4 for the hobo processes

The Sereal modules (Decoder/Encoder) are loaded automatically. Basically, the Storable module is not loaded when Sereal 3.015 or later is available. The following are recommended modules. IO::FDPass allows the passing of the fd descriptor while the shared-manager is running.

## MCE and MCE::Shared including MCE::Hobo

1. Sereal::Decoder 3.015+
2. Sereal::Encoder 3.015+
3. Sereal (ok for completeness, but MCE does not load this)

## MCE::Shared applies to Condvar, Handle, and Queue

1. IO::FDPass 1.2+
