Serial port communication on Win32

Hello,

I need to communicate with a serial port for a windows application.
I know that win32 manages ports just like files so I can use the stream library to read and write, but I also need to get and set the port configuration, and that part is not ported to D. (GetCommParam, Set CommParam).
now, should I extend the phobos.stream, or should I make a new library, or somebody else already done this?

thanks ...

There was recently a thread about this on one of the DM newsgroups. Search there.

I think this is the thread that Carlos is remembering: http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?digitalmars.D.learn/1973

thanks for the link, it's not that relevant but I found my files any way.
The Core32 project did port to D the WINAPI I needed.
