That's my belief as well, but I've had troubles with ftp clients on MSW,
mostly because of how the TCP/IP protocols are handled by the OS.  I'd like
to know if anyone has used this library on MSW and whether or not problems
were encountered.  It's pretty much "if python can't do it, neither can
anything else" and I'm doomed to running parallel code.
