I'd expect to be *able* to use low-level IO as long as the user has a way to
get a HANDLE value (Win32::CreateFile or some such). However, if Event is
handed a Perl filehandle, it needs to be able to go filehandle ->
PerlIO/stdio handle -> OS handle, so that it can pass it to Event. No
problem, both routes are catered for (now that I have Nick's code snippet).
