_WinAPI_CreateFile - Use of magic number and resulting 64-bit incompatibility

Description
Said function tests for 0xFFFFFFFF (which equals INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE under 32-bit only). Should probably be changed to a constant and use the value -1 (or perhaps (Ptr("")-1)) for 64-bit compatibility. I've also attached a corrected version of WinAPI.au3. Changes are on lines 28 and 980.
See this post: Intel Software Network Blogs for slightly more information if you need it.

Ugh, so you filed a bug report against an old version not bothering to test that it was fixed in the betas?

Well I checked the change logs and there was no mention there so I assumed that would be sufficient. Granted it is an old version date wise, but it was the latest stable release at the time I filed the report. Perhaps there should be a note on the main page of the bug tracker to check the beta's incase the change isn't listed in the change log or something? Regardless, this isn't a forum so I'll leave it be.
