But in our case Wine would be considered the service provider, so we
can use the structure. It seems you should be able to use the existing
code by providing a different async_handler function, and storing the
needed information in the WSAOVERLAPPED structure. That would be
cleaner than having the low-level file I/O routines know about winsock
structures.
