How would you feel about a PR to dump that whole win32 bindings 
into the druntime tree?

I'll change the module names from win32.xxx over to 
core.sys.windows.xxx so it blends in, but it would be a wholesale 
copy of the public domain MinGW based headers.

Then we wouldn't even have incompatiblity between 
core.sys.windows.windows.HANDLE and win32.windows.HANDLE anymore. 
It'd all go well together.

it *might* break instances where we've done manual bindings 
before... but that'd be the good kind of breakages, we'd know we 
can remove that useless code. (And the module system might even 
keep it from actually breaking the build anyway.)


I'd say it is totally worth it. We have reasonably complete 
core.stdc and core.sys.posix. Let's do the same with 
core.sys.windows.
