The use of libc is not necessary; instead of opening a file with fopen, 
pass the path directly to the underlying library. I'll post a revised 
example that works with MS.NET later today.
The prebuilt Windows binaries are built using Microsoft Visual 
Studio.NET 2003; however the solution files included in the source are 
out of date. I'll be updating those as soon as Dave has a chance to 
finish the SVN transition.
