I can, but I'm not sure I understand what you'd like to test.  With
the default value of w32-scroll-lock-modifier your patch will
definitely work; with w32-scroll-lock-modifier customized to some
modifier, like 'super, it will certainly NOT work.

So I think we need to tell Windows users that this binding won't work
if w32-scroll-lock-modifier was customized to a n on-nil value.  Any
suggestions for where to document that?
