Thanks very much--this seems like something some users will want.
Would you be willing to sign a disclaimer for your changes so we can
use it?

    I've implemented the changes only for X: I don't know Win32, and
    couldn't test it if I did.

I am glad you couldn't test it; I couldn't either.  But you might not
want to call it "Win".  In hacker terminology, calling something a
"win" is a form of praise.  If you wish to praise Microsoft Windows,
you're free to do so; but if you don't, then you might want to think
twice about using the term "Win32".
