Interesting - the results appear in the Messages window just like on  
*nix?

This means there must be a workaround in GLib (2.8) to make  
g_io_channel_unix_new work in Windows; perhaps it just calls  
g_io_channel_win32_new_fd internally. This may only work with Windows  
XP - I will try this on a friend's laptop.

In Windows 2000 I think FIF segfaulted once but after that the results  
would scroll past in a command shell and disappear before I could read  
them; in Windows ME it always segfaulted.

I will look into this before the 0.8 release, and if possible just  
disable Windows FIF on GLib < 2.8 or WinME/2K.

This is interesting because we could enable other uses of GIOChannel on  
Windows, e.g. for building; but this is probably a fair way off yet.

BTW Find usage should still work fine in all Windows versions.
