On reading through the includes for the SDK, I see that std{in,out,err} are
not supported under Windows.  While this isn't entirely surprising, what do
you do to substitute for them?  (On Unix, I'd consider opening /dev/null,
but there isn't one that I can find for DOS/MS-WINDOWS.)

Please reply by email; I'll post a summary if there is enough interest.

(Ah, the joys of porting code.  The rambling through the fields of bits,
stumbling over segments...)
