I didn't "invent" that comment... it was there already.

The above function used to be named "x_get_glyph_overhangs" calling
what used to be named "w32_get_glyph_overhangs".

I swapped the names of "w32_get_glyph_overhangs" and
"x_get_glyph_overhangs" to make the X and W32 code less different...

I thought so myself, but it could seem like get_frame_dc had some
side-effects, so I didn't want to break anything.  If you think it is
safe to discard w32_get_glyph_overhangs, just do it!
