If anything I'd say it's more difficult in Windows.

Correct. Looking at chapter 5 it's also clear that actual data for
GPIO pins is written using registers offset from an IO base address
configured in the logical device. So steps are:

set gpio ldn: regwrite(7,7)
read io base address: regread(60h)<<8 | regread(61h)
read current GPIO-0 value: inb(base address)
set bit 3 in value (1<<3)
write new GPIO-0 value: outb(base,newval)
