Radim,

Where exactly are you thinking to put this?  You refer to gdal/apps,
but the mainline programs in that directly would not normally open
files directly, they would use VSI services.  If MinGW builds are using
the Win32 VSI code - as they ought - then I would think this would already
be taken care of.

Best regards,
