Cool. I will send you the patch shortly. I would like to cleanup some
things first.

Hmm. I am not sure about the right way here. The change which I made
is quite simple. I just made the Handle data type an abstract type
instead of wrapper around ForeignPtr. The reason is that the file
handle in .NET is an object instead of some kind of pointer or numeric
value. I am not sure how many other changes will be required in order
to support the entire base package. I prefer to keep a separated copy
for base, until I get a clear vision.

Cheers,
