Venster is still pretty young and raw, as is the underlying ctypes
package, though ctypes is maturing rapidly.

I'm experimenting with Venster at work, as I'm having to use ctypes to
access a COM package which has very limited support for COM automation,
and is thus not really usable from Mark Hammond's win32all package :-(.

As Venster is only a fairly thin wrapper about various Windows APIs (ATL &
WTL in particular), I've been able to use the online docs at MSDN (in
conjunction with the samples) to get by so far.

How much further I can get remains to be seen...
