I guess my main question is: why is so much assembly needed there - can some or all of it be replaced by C code (at least on platforms where you never need to interact with real windows libs - like sparc/solaris and pa-risc/hpux)?
No, pretty much everything that can be done in C already is, the rest really needs to be in assembly. It's a perfect opportunity to learn PA-RISC assembly <g>
