There is no reason we use Win32API.rb instead of Fiddle directly.

I mentioned this in a related issue (#484) and I support moving away from using the stdlib Win32API. The main complication is that the copy/paste code in windows.rb for non-JRuby uses fiddle, which is a little bit broken on JRuby.

The code may be close to working, but I have not attempted it and I do not have a Windows machine on which to test currently.
