Good enough. If I implement such a function for *Win*32 only (since Ynix
developers apparently only views things like clean-up as
CPU-cycle-stealers), will you anyway consider merging it into the main
distribution for us poor *Win*32-developers who do need such crutches - and
are willing to pay the price in CPU-cycles?

(Please note the joking irony above - I just find the whole Windows vs. Unix
thing silly and could not refrain from commenting. But I do want to
implement the feature, and lack the time to test in anything but a Windows
enviroment, and apparently you as maintainer do maintain that the feature is
unnecessary, and even harmful, anyway in a Unix environment.)
