Thanks.  Now I think I finally understand what the comment about
multiple display types and SIGINT in init_keyboard.c:10886 (cfaf18a)
really means :)

That was exactly one of the things that confused me and what I tried to
document in my initial patch by saying

"On MS-Windows, [...].  GDB treats them as a SIGINT, but Emacs
won't terminate as it ignores these events."
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
With this fix, this confusion is gone.  Thanks.

Just one small thing: After sending a SIGINT, it might take some time
until Emacs actually terminates as it might be blocked in pselect
emulation (sys_select) in the call to MsgWaitForMultipleObjects.  Just
wonder if there is an easy way to send a message or such to get out of
the blocking call without having to wait for a timeout or another event
to happen.  I guess that does not happen on POSIX as the corresponding
syscall will be interrupted anyway, right?
