I have a question - it's not directly related to apreq, but could
potentially influence its API.

In mod_dtcl, there is some Tcl code that, on windows, deals in
HANDLE's, as (I guess - I'm a unix guy) that's the native windows
thing.

The problem is that apreq only gives us a FILE*, and we need a way to
get a HANDLE from it.

We found this on the microsoft site:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;99173

but it doesn't look all that great, as they suggest that actually
using the results might not be a good idea.

Any windows people out there with helpful suggestions?

Thanks,
