 - make passing of parameters and type conversions of parameters to uitask on Windows consistent: explicit _WPARAM(xxx)/_LPARAM(xxx)/uintptr(xxx), for example
 	- do this for type signatures in exported functions: (err error) or just error?
 	- do this for the names of GTK+ helper functions (gtkXXX or gXXX)
+- on windows 7, progress bars seem to animate from 0 -> pos when you turn off marquee mode and set pos; see if that's documented or if I'm doing something wrong
