Scripting the Win32 API - F# and IronPython FFI

Mainly a worked example for reminding me of how the syntax goes, reimplementing sn -k in F# and IronPython:

This about halfway between how you'd just call the APIs naturally in C++/CLI, and the full process of C# P/Invoke. You do need to do your own extern method declarations, whereas IronPython is something else again:

where it was easier to fudge the pointer value for the key buffer into an IntPtr than to try and dereference it via ctypes and make a manual copy.

The code here is an adapted subset of a managed API for strong-name keys; the use-case being a contingent key generation as part of a build process.
