No, I would like to change this to be the "real" pointer that the HANDLE
was used for, instead of just a void pointer.  These need to point to
real structures.  I did this already for the locks, and can be done for
pretty much everything else as well.

Here's an example.  This should really be a pointer to a "work queue"
and not a void pointer at all.  Changes like that would be gladly
accepted.
