I hadn't realised that win32lib was supposed to be a cross-platform library.
I though it was a Windows-only library. I'm sorry that I have misunderstod
your intentions.

If Win32lib is going to be a cross-platform library then it needs SERIOUS
overhauling. I'm not in a position to do this because of the effort that
that would require.

I want a Windows-only library for my own purposes, so I guess I'll have roll
my own flavour. Give me the rest of the week to tidy it up and I'll post my
last release.
