I don´t currently use Native Client. If I did, I wouldn´t be happy to have 
unusable logs, if not crashes, due to concurrent access to FILE pointers.

But in any case, this code only makes sense on Windows, and it´s only that way 
to work around a MingW problem. (I don´t know if it´s a MingW bug or a VLC 
build misconfiguration.) Using it for anything else is confusing and likely to 
explode when the MingW problem is resolved - and the code removed.
