Don't we need to free this at some point?

GetSystemTime() does not seem to set an error that can be retrieved by
GetLastError().

I'm not sure how safe this union stuff is. The documentation suggests that in
some circumstances the low/high fields in FILETIME might be padded for
64-bit alignment and that doing this type of cast could generate an
alignment fault:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724284(v=vs.85).aspx

or it might, perhaps even worse, just silently report the wrong time.

I think we should just do the math explicitly:

(((tf.dwHighDateTime << 32) | tf.dwLowDateTime) - W32_FT_OFFSET) * 100)

(or something along that line)
