Modeler 3D lets you open an unlimited number of windows, and I just let
Intuition create a new UserPort for each one.  Modeler just waits on the
logical-or of the waitmask for each window.  Works fine.

One thing that caused me some trouble, however, is the fact that Intuition
will start to re-use SigBit's once you've used them all.  This means that
two windows can share the same signal bit -- not a terrible problem, but
something to be aware of so you don't assume that all signal bits are unique.
I made this assumption initially and found that windows stopped working
in stress-testing (multi-dozens of windows).  It wasn't hard to fix.
