Making the code report that the feature doesn't exist on MS Windows has solved the problem. Now we're talking about adding a feature. That shouldn't be done until after the release. But I hope that if this is done then, it won't be done by you. The reason is that improving Emacs for Windows alone is not as important as improving it for free systems. You are very capable of making the sorts of improvements that will really make Emacs better for users. I hope you will focus on them.
