Actually, all I could find after a quick look were these comments:

http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2003-12/msg00169.html
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2005-02/msg00179.html

(Funnily enough, both of these mention Win32API::File, which we have at 
last reached agreement to include now :-)

So it looks like I was mistaken in thinking that there'd been more talk 
about these things in the past. Sorry.
