Is this supposed to work on MS-Windows? We do support there dragging
file names and dropping them onto an Emacs frame. However, I couldn't
make this work, even when dragging from one Emacs session to another.
I now see that we display a message saying dragging files is not
supported, but why is that?

Unfortunately, it doesn't work on platforms where the necessary
drag-and-drop APIs aren't available. Right now, they are only available
on X, Haiku and Nextstep.
Not mentioning that in the doc string was an oversight, but when I
looked into implementing them on MS Windows, I found that apparently the
necessary "IDropSource" API cannot be used from C.

OK, so please update NEWS and the doc string to that effect, and
thanks.
