Ha, I originally committed those files to fix a licensing issue.
Unfortunately, they're from ProFTPD, and so can't be relicensed.

We can steal equivalent code from somewhere else, though.  PostgreSQL
apparently has a good cross-platform implementation, but we'd need a
license exemption because while the license is BSD-ish, it is not
actually BSD, MIT or X11.  OpenSSH apparently also has similar code, so
it might be best to use their implementation, given Windows is already
treated specially.

I'll have a look at this later in the week.

Alex
