You cannot be serious.  Since when do we yield to idiosyncrasies of MS 
platforms?

Without at least some support, what's a person got to do when presented 
with a program that treats SIGINT and SIGQUIT differently (i.e. installs 
two different handlers for it)?  Do we tell them to invent their own 
pseudo-signal mechanism by reading keys via BIOS?  Seems like a major 
lossage to me.
