Fair enough, on both counts. However, the original question which was asked
out of ignorance (that I'll freely admit) doesn't seem to have been directly
addressed:

Just canvassing for options. If we can get a win32 specific change that we
trust, great! (I think it goes without saying that, throughout the work on
this port, we've tried to avoid changing the existing code as much as
possible). However, if we can not, I'd like to have other options, and am
exploring this possibility.

Cheers,
Claudio
