[Vm-dev] Building OSProcess plugin on win32 fails

[David T. Lewis]

You can either copy the two headers into the OSPP subdirectory, or
fix the makefile. OSPP needs both FilePlugin.h and SocketPlugin.h
from their respective subdirectories. I'm afraid I never put any
effort into fixing the makefile, so if you can share a makefile that
works properly, that would be great.

Also, be aware that the OSPP primitives related to OS pipes, stdio
handles, and (IIRC) console open/close will fail due the the file
handle registry. I usually just disable it in sqWin32HandleTable.h,
although I suspect this is not an approved procedure ;)

Andreas, I recall discussing the handle registration a few years
ago, but I don't think I ever followed up to do anything about it.
It would be good if we could have some mechanism such as
#primitiveRegisterHandle so that someone can e.g. get the two
handles for a new OSPipe and inform FilePlugin that they are
legitimate handles. Would you be willing to support a mechanism
like that?
