I believe that the XEmacs 21.5 branch with --with-msw=yes has been broken for a
while; however, I haven't tried to build it in a while, either. Assuming it's
still broken, I suspect that's the "rationale".

I've been doing 21.5 builds with VC++ because I didn't have time to try and
figure out what the problem was and submit a patch upstream. It looks like I
may have some time before too long, assuming someone else doesn't get to it
first ;-)
