Windows processes inherit all inheritable handles when a new process is
created using CreateProcess() with bInheritHandles set to TRUE. This can
lead to undesired object lifetime extension. That is, the child process
will keep ineritable handles alive even if it does not use them. Up to
Windows Vista it was not possible explicitly list handles that should be
inherited. Wireshark no longer works on Windows releases earlier than
Vista, so use the new API without checking Windows version.
Require all callers to win32_create_process() to pass in the list of
handles to inherit. Set the listed handles as inheritable shortly before
calling CreateProcess() and set them as not inheritable shortly after
the process is created. This minimizes possibility for other callers
(especially in 3rd party libraries) to inherit handles by accident.
Do not terminate mmdbresolve process on exit. Instead rely on process
exit when EOF is received on standard input. Previously the EOF was
never received because mmdbresolve inherited both ends of standard input
pipe, i.e. the fact that Wireshark closed the write end was not observed
by mmdbresolve because mmdbresolve kept write handle the standard input
pipe open.
Repeated words were found with:
egrep "(\b[a-zA-Z]+) +\1\b" . -Ir
and then manually reviewed.
Non-displayed strings (e.g., in comments)
were also corrected, to ease future review.
It's broken, unmaintained, poorly implemented and obsoleted by saner
debug-info methods.
Note: To do the compliance check properly would require much more
extensive work to clearly define public and private interfaces (without
manual bookeeping of files or symbols either, of course, because who
would want that...).

That's what g_strerror() does, and it means that the caller doesn't need
to free the string (it's kept around, and if another call to
win32strerror() generates the same string, the interned string is
returned).

Use FormatMessageW() to get a UTF-16-encoded Unicode error string,
rather than an error string in the local code page, and then convert it
from UTF-16 to UTF-8.
Make it dynamically-allocated, so it's big enough and so that we are
thread-safe. Make the callers free the result.

For a sane plugin build environment. Include config.h as the first
header in the .c file instead.
Fix by moving required compiler attribute macros to a new
"ws_attributes.h" API header.
