Description
The implementations for the IO, Dir, File, File::Stat and Socket classes are radically different on MS Windows. Rather than riddle the source code with a lot of #ifdef's, and rather than use the goofy system in place now with win32.c and undef'ing existing methods, let's create separate source files for these classes.
They should be put under win32, and the configure script should be modified to use them during the build process, instead of the Unix versions.
