newer versions only process one initialization file, and do so at a
different time than previous versions.

* After discussion with Trent, all INT_PTR references have been removed in favour of the HANDLE it should always have been.  Trent can see no 64bit issues here.

* In this process, I noticed that the close operation was dangerous, in that we could end up passing bogus results to the Win32 API.  These result of the API functions passed the bogus values were never (and still are not) checked, but this is closer to "the right thing" (tm) than before.

Tested on Windows and Linux.

Fixes for Windows (but also tested on Linux).  Test suite now completes, and this module should not leak in the face of errors.

Checkin that replaces the INT_PTR types with HANDLEs still TBD (but as that is a "spelling" patch, rather than a functional one, I will commit it seperately.

  mere warnings.
Call 'findall()' on our FileList object before we start using it seriously.

Added 'remove_duplicates()'.
Simplified constructor: no longer take 'files' or 'allfiles' as args,
  and no longer have 'dir' attribute at all.
Added 'set_allfiles()' and 'findall()' so the client does have a
  way to set the list of all files.
Changed 'include_pattern()' to use the 'findall()' method instead of
  the external function.  (Of course, the method is just a trivial
  wrapper around the function.)

only a bit, but should allow greater simplification of FileList.

just renamed the class from Template to FileList, and the module
accordingly.
