Not some much.  The danger is running into conflicts with
the Wine folks.  Chris' library will wrap functions from a lot
of different pipes.  So I don't think things like OpenPrinter(),
ControlService(), etc....are good choices.  Besides, the
formal parameter list will be different so it is almost an
advantage no to be similar to Win32 naming conventions here.
