Hmm... w32-register-hot-key is not for binding Emacs commands to
platform-specific keys, it is so that the OS doesn't catch some key
combinations ahead of Emacs. That is, by using w32-register-hot-key
you make the key combination available for binding to a command using
global-set-key and the likes.
By contrast, it sounds like your patch is for letting users bind
platform-specific key sequences to Emacs commands, which is something
quite different. What is the rationale for adding this functionality
to Emacs?
