I am not sure if it's the driver - of course that driver isn't as fast 
as other implementations, but that it sometimes hang completely (at 
least on my system) should have other reasons.

Oh no, port it with write support... well, there is currently only a 
read-only driver, so it would be nice to port it with write 
capabilities, too :)
I've also thought about this (I've also downloaded the Open-Sourced 
headers to do this), but I haven't had a look at its license yet. And I 
haven't got a programming environment under Windows (besides that I 
only barely use it at all).

Adios...
