Windows doesn't really have a notion of open file limits similar to
Unix. File handles opened using _open can go up to a maximum of 2048.
fopen has a cap of 512 which can be raised up to 2048 using
_setmaxstdio(). *But* these are just CRT limits, and if you use Win32
directly, you can open up to 2^24 handles all at once

will never need to open that many file handles, you may very well be
able to use this approach.
