+Summary: Win32Exception does not use win32 FormatMessage API
+
+Currently, (System.ComponentModel.)Win32Exception does not use the win32 
+FormatMessage API to lookup the message corresponding with the native 
+win32 error on Windows.
+
+Instead we're hardcoding a (small) set of known win32 error in the 
+W32ErrorMessage method. Hardcoding this list should only be necessary on 
+Linux (unless there's a solution for this too).
+
+To reproduce, compile and run the following code snippet:
+
+using System;
+using System.ComponentModel;
+
+public class Test {
+  static void Main () {
+    Win32Exception ex = new Win32Exception (10);
+    Console.WriteLine (ex.Message);
+  }
+}
+
+Expected result:
+
+The environment is incorrect
+
+Actual result:
+
+Some sort of w32 error occurred: 10
