Thanks Michael.

I have observed something weird during the file-notify tests.
I traced file-notify-test02-events.
The read_event function doesn't time out in 0.1s as it is supposed to.
It waits for the time specified  by (file-notify--test-timeout) before
returning the right value. (Well actually, the value returned by the third
test
in file-notify-test02-events is wrong but it is another story).

So I'm afraid some logic is wrong, and possibly not only in file-notify
but also in the way w32 should handle those timeouts.
