All this sounds good.  I was a little surprised your hooks are done 
after regular Win32::GUI processing, but I guess they are still done 
before/instead of DefWindowProc, so that makes sense to me.

Is there any reason HEM cannot be used in conjunction with the old event 
model?

And here is why it is ridiculous:
  The division that includes Windows posted an operating profit of $2.26 
  billion on revenue of $2.81 billion.

So that's profit of over 400% of investment... with a bit more 
investment in Windows technology, particularly in the area of 
reliability, the profit percentage might go down, but so might the bugs 
and security problems?  Seems like it would be a reasonable tradeoff. 
WalMart earnings are 3.4% of investment.
