getting the application instance

I want to get access to the HANDLE hInstance normally passed
as the first parameter to WinMain(), but I don't want to have
a WinMain() function. How does the gnuwin library get access
to this, I notice that the value seems to be 0x40000 (or something
with more or less zeros's). Does it change? Can I call
an api function to get the same value, I just want to pass it to
create window?
Since gnuwin calls WinMain() on startup, it must somehow have this
information. I don't have immediate access to the source to 
investigate this myself.
