Thanks for the suggestion.  I did post there Saturday morning.  While I
haven't had a response yet, I've solved part of the problem myself, as I
reported to the dev-list just now.  The gist is, Windows Emacs already
has a manifest in the executable as a resource; this manifest resource
can be pretty easily augmented to tell Windows to avoid VirtualStore.
