Well, if the exchange worked, the old value was 0; if the
exchange didn't work, then it was something other than
0.

So, if we get 0 back from InterlockCompareExhcnagePointer(),
then we know the exchange took place, and we had no previous
handle.  Otherwise, we know the exchange didn't take place,
and we must clean up our handle.

(I think anyway.)

Well, yes, win32.  I've been setup before, but I haven't
kept up with the tool chain.

Do we still need the djcc stuff for building freeloader?

What would be really cool was an MSI that would get me
a complete 'ReactoOS' build environment in one simple
step.  Maybe I'll look into it.

Actually, best would be the VC++ build system :-)
