We use a newer Microsoft API called WMI to do this.  This API comes built
into Win2K and XP, it must be installed on NT 4.0.

Once WUG establishes a connection to the WMI component on the remote host
initially, the log entries are sent to WUG by the WMI component on the
remote server as they occur.  WUG just listens for them to arrive.

We do maintain an open TCP connection to the remote host, but we don't have
to actively poll.
