Use an appropriate timeout value (somewhat less than a minute) as the
time argument to EvtGetEvent. If the time has elapsed without some
other event, the OS will issue a nilEvent. Be warned that you may
(likely will) get nilEvents more often than you desire. Process them by
checking the time since your last update, and calling EvtGetEvent again
with the appropriate time. You get the idea.
