This is about the security of Emacs users on MS Windows. You are 
suggesting that the principle to not use the libraries that comes with 
MS Windows as a very important principle. So important that we should 
not consider using them even if that could make it more safe for the users.

Or am I misunderstanding you? If I am not misunderstanding you should we 
then perhaps rethink this principle? I do not argue against the 
principle as such - it is fine. However what do we do in circumstances 
like these we are actually talking about here?
