The IOChannel interfaces recently changed a lot, and as a consequence,
the giowin32 code is in need of more extensive care at the moment.  It
probably doesn't compile. If it does, it certainly doesn't work.

If someone wants to take a look at this, and also check to make sure
that we haven't made any unforgiveable portability mistakes in the
interfaces that need to be fixed, that could be quite useful.
