It looks like _very_ little work, actually -- there's only two places
that actually seem to reference the `tail' field.

Morever, that seems to be the only place left in emacs that takes the
address of XCAR/XCDR, so I'd say it's well worth doing.  I'd do it,
since it's so easy, but perhaps it's better left to the w32 maintainer,
who can test it.
