Other Windows apps, AS WELL as Emacs, yes.  Emacs fits
Windows here, which is what Windows users expect.  See
also Yuri's list of reasons why displaying a contextual
menu on mouse-up instead of mouse-down makes sense.

(But I'm not proposing that we fix all the non-Windows
design-bugged behavior of showing the menu upon mouse-down
- at least not outside Emacs. ;-))
