Re: Win32 signals patch

Patch applied. Thanks.

The patch is quite small. I need the README because there were very
complex decisions made in choosing this route, and we need to document
that for later adjustment, if necessary.

I usually put things in a queue an apply after 1-2 days, but I am
leaving for Europe tomorrow and we have a few people working on Win32
that need this in soon so they can continue.
