Cool. No, it doesn''t belong on win32-utils because, as you say,
it''s
not win32 specific. Even if it was, it''s *your* library, and you can
do
with it as you please. :)
Just an FYI, I released win32-service 0.5.1 tonight. Please take a look
at the changes file.

PS - I can help with Solaris testing next week.
