As far as I know, there's no way to be notified of brltty events in 
Windows. If I understand correctly, you would need to have a handle to 
the pipe which you place in a call to WaitForMultipleObjects or the 
like. Unfortunately, the brlapi client only exposes the handle used to 
read from and write to the pipe. I think we need access to the actual 
pipe object to get a handle which can be waited on. Any corrections 
welcome, but I did look into this quite a bit. Trust Microsoft to make 
it overly complicated...
