Thanks for the reminder.  I'm not very familiar with C# myself, but I do 
agree with the analysis that Windows memory management is not always 
straight-forward, since there is more than just the malloc() pool, and 
therefore strdup() is not necessarily a trivial operation since it 
determines which memory pool is in use.  Sorry if my previous message 
came across harsher than intended (now that I've gone back and re-read it).

Good luck with it, and thanks again to Arnaud for taking on the task of 
a new language binding.
