I'm actually puzzled.  It looks very like someone took a shortcut and, 
instead of implementing new methods, just went through and commented out 
every call to kill().  cf handle_sigio().

Anyway, to answer your question:

> You are proposing that something like this in inflow.c 

Yes, for the most part I would like to strongly encouraging people doing 
WIN32, GO32 and CYGWIN ports to look back over all those #ifdef's and 
see if they are better served by an autoconf feature test. Per my 
earlier e-mail, the obvious oneis to do with how file systems are DOS 
file systems are handled and there, I think things are being replaced 
with a runtime test.

There is also at least one specific case, main.c, where I think the 
_WIN32 test is bogus.

   enjoy,
