Problem: job_stop() on MS-Windows does not really stop the job.
Solution: Make the default to stop the job forcefully. (Ken Takata)
Make MS-Windows and Unix more similar.
Problem: Channel test fails on Win32 console.
Solution: Don't sleep when timeout is zero. Call channel_wait() before
channel_read(). Channels are not polled during ":sleep". (Yukihiro
Nakadaira)
Problem: Win32: opening a channel may hang. Not checking for messages
while waiting for characters.
Solution: Add a zero timeout. Call parse_queued_messages(). (Yasuhiro
Matsumoto)
Problem: The nsis script can't be used from the appveyor build.
Solution: Add "ifndef" to allow for variables to be set from the command
line. Remove duplicate SetCompressor command. Support using other
gettext binaries. (Ken Takata) Update build instructions to use
libintl-8.dll.
Problem: On MS-Windows the viminfo file is (always) given the hidden
attribute. (raulnac)
Solution: Check the hidden attribute in a different way. (Ken Takata)
Problem: Problems with using the MS-Windows console.

solution. (suggested by Ken Takata)
Problem: Windows7: when using vim.exe with msys or msys2, conhost.exe
(console window provider on Windows7) will freeze or crash.
Solution: Make original screen buffer active, before executing external
program. And when the program is finished, revert to vim's one.
(Taro Muraoka)
Problem: On MS-Windows console Vim uses ANSI APIs for keyboard input and
console output, it cannot input/output Unicode characters.
Solution: Use Unicode APIs for console I/O. (Ken Takata, Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
Problem: Saving and restoring the console buffer does not work properly.
Solution: Instead of ReadConsoleOutputA/WriteConsoleOutputA use
CreateConsoleScreenBuffer and SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer.
(Ken Takata)
Problem: On MS-Windows 8 IME input doen't work correctly.
Solution: Read console input before calling MsgWaitForMultipleObjects().
(vim-jp, Nobuhiro Takasaki)
Problem: On some systems automatically adding the missing EOL causes
problems. Setting 'binary' has too many side effects.
Solution: Add the 'fixeol' option, default on. (Pavel Samarkin)
Problem: On MS-Windows when 'encoding' is a double-byte encoding a file
name longer than MAX_PATH bytes but shorter than that in
characters causes problems.
Solution: Fail on file names longer than MAX_PATH bytes. (Ken Takata)

Solution: Take the encoding into account. When restoring the title use the
right function. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
