I don't understand, the patched fileio.c contained changes I didn't submit,
so I assume you got them from somewhere else. It seems risky to do this if
you are not even going to compile them.

Wrong. It's mine. Ben probably never builds 21.4 at all these days.
I simply applied your patches, as we agreed. I was not aware that
your 21.4 workspace varied from canonical in that way. How could I
be?
And I don't build under Windows at the moment. The box that used to
be my Windows test bed now serves the CVS repository. I'll be
reinstalling Cygwin and VC++ elsewhere, but it's no longer critical
that release-21-4 build on Windows as windows-21-4 is now canonical
for that platform.

I disagree. The cast is primarily for Mule-aware people reading the
code.
This difference of philosophy and goals is why I rather doubt there
will be a merge of release-21-4 and windows-21-4.
Once again, I don't disagree with your decision to vary from the main
line code that way---Windows is your domain, after all, I'm no expert
---but I certainly resist that kind of change in the Unix line.
