[RFC] cleaner FD_TYPE_XXX implementation

[Mike McCormack]

Hi Martin,

Sorry, i should have been a little more clear: if there is a
overlapped console, the code in ReadFile (ie. the implemention) will
ignore the fact that it is a console, and treat it as a standard
overlapped file. In other words, ReadFile should check if the fd is a
console fd first, then check if it has the overlapped flag.

What you're trying to do is good, and my complaint is just a quibble
since the console code doesn't support overlapped operations now
anyway :-]
