Please answer this question, if you can: I need the answer to analyze
what, if any, changes are needed in how Emacs on Windows handles
process demise and emulates SIGCHLD.  Currently, we watch all of the
subprocesses inside the 'pselect' call; the question is: should we
only watch those of them that are relevant to the thread that calls
'pselect'.
