* bug#12450: Remove configure's --without-sync-input option.

From: Paul Eggert @ 2012-09-15  7:54 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: 12450; +Cc: Juanma Barranquero

When auditing signal-handling in preparation for cleaning it up, I
found that configuring --without-sync-input has race conditions that
look like they would be a real pain to fix.  Many of these involve
memory allocation within a signal handler, which is tricky and
dangerous.  Emacs attempts to work around the problems, but these
workarounds are not sufficient and fixing them would not be easy.

Since it's an undocumented and deprecated configure-time option, and
has been that way for over four years, and the non-SYNC_INPUT code is
a real mess that is getting in the way of improving Emacs, now seems
like a good time to remove that code.  At the end of this message is
the patch that I'd like to install.

I see that nt/config.nt has "#undef SYNC_INPUT" but do the Microsoft
ports care one way or another whether SYNC_INPUT is set?  If so, why?
If not, then that line could simply be removed from nt/config.nt.

I'll CC: this to Eli and Juanma to give them a heads-up.
