I seem to be missing half these mails ....

On windows you can't pass 'FILE *' into shared libraries,
they are likely to have their own copies of the stdio
libraries - with different FILE structures.
(eg if one part is compiled with debug enabled).

Probably the most portable way is using fdopen(0, ...)
that will work in windows - fileno(stdin) is still 0.
