I don't really know much about Cygwin or (especially) Windows.
Right now the filedescriptor code pretty much assumes a Unixy
environment.  However, that is easily changeable.

One idea would be to replace `int fd' with `RawData fd', and have the
interpretation of it depend on the platform.

Then when initializing in/out/err we could call some native code which
would do the right thing, also depending on the platform.
