Is a file descriptor on windows really an int, or is it a pointer? If 
its the latter, I don't think we should cast it to an int because it 
will break on 64-bit.
I recall seeing a patch from Jeff a long time ago to fix FileDescriptor 
to be more portable and not make the POSIX file-descriptor-is-an-int 
assumption, but it never got checked in.
