I'm ok with winapi name (actually, it sounds better).

But I don't want to make it a public library. People might get the idea that 
we're trying to cover WinAPI in our headers while they only exist to cover 
Boost needs. Really, this is just an implementation detail. A pretty ugly one, 
but useful to multiple libraries.
