Not asynchronous signals, but there's always the timer support
that comes with the `multimedia' API from MS:

timeSetEvent(UINT udelay, 
             UINT uResolution, 
             LPTIMECALLBACK foo, 
             DWORD dwUser,
	     UINT fuEvent);  
    /* periodic or one-shot - runs in sep thread */

(+ friends)

Worked fine for me, you may have to noodle with the GNU Win32 header
files to get this going, last time I looked the MM stuff wasn't in
there.

HTH,
