Thanks, but after Bison 1.75 was released we removed readpipe.c and
implemented the subsidiary process in a different way, so your fix no
longer applies to Bison.  I have no idea whether the new code runs on
Microsoft operating systems, but you can find a more recent test
version at:

We'd prefer a patch that does not clutter the main source code.
Please see <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils/diffutils-2.8.1.tar.gz>
for an example of how to do that.  The Microsoft-related code is in an
"ms" subdirectory, and there is no Microsoft-specific ifdef anywhere
in the mainline diffutils code.
