  Maybe we would want a `memwipe` (if we have a good one for Windows) here
 since `buf` can potentially contain a passphrase? Yes could be malformed
 passphrase but still could contain sensitive data.
 {{{
 memset(buf, 0, sizeof(wchar_t)*buflen);
 }}}

 The rest lgtm! FYI, I couldn't test it because of a lack of Windows
 machine so this is a code ACK.
