I agree.  Although, I had to carefully reread MSDN and stare
at the code.  As you point out O_CREAT and O_EXCL result
in CREATE_NEW and in this case if the file already exists, the
CreateFile() will fail (instead of succeeding and setting
ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS as it does with CREATE_ALWAYS or OPEN_ALWAYS).

Anyway, the simplified patch now becomes:

Thanks.
