Summary: Feature request: ReadFileEx/WriteFileEx 

Initial Comment:
I was just happily working myself into the pywin32 package unitl I found that the main functions I need are not available:
ReadFileEx/WriteFileEx

I'll stick to a ctypes-based method for now. However, future users might be happy to see these functions.

Message:
I had looked at these a while back, and the reason I didn't wrap them is
the lack of a way to pass a python function to the callback.  Most of these
types of callbacks have an extra "context" arg - a void pointer that we can
use for that purpose.  However, this one doesn't provide for a context. 
Maybe we could associate the callback with the file handle or the
Overlapped object.
