Please be very carefull about getting info from Microsoft, be very sure that 
the info is free to use, and can be used for non-MS software.

If you receive information without the proper OK, I would like to advice you
to not even look at the info. You can never prove that you did not use the info
if you looked at it.  Don't underestimate the power of lawyers of a company that
is openly attacking things like the GPL.

OK, I am a bit paranoid, but I hope to be programming OSS for some more time ;)
