No we don't really need it.  I was wondering why you implemented this 
in the first place.  Using select() explains it all. I agree that 
PeekMessage should be used.

I thought you were trying to replace the entire message loop 
functionality with a UNIX like interface. (^8

Do we really need it? Just call PeekMessage() :-) The main goal of my 
patch
is to provide working select() on a mix of handles and message queue, 
it's
really neccessary to compile GDI version of Xemacs with cygwin.

Anyway, it's easy to implement a read() call without removing a 
message
from the queue, have you any suggestions how to control the behavior 
of
read() call?
