Ah okay now I understand the other message.  I think we're safe if we 
only support _setting_ the flag, and not clearing it.  Most of the use 
cases are like this.

Also, actually the flags can be accessed; it's undocumented but it can 
be found.  See for example these files, taken from Perl and Ruby 
respectively:

http://downloads.activestate.com/contrib.old/ntsock.cpp
http://www.google.com/codesearch/p#-ImLthoNrik/ruby-1.8.6/win32/win32.c

(search for _osfile).
