Thank you for your detailed explanation.  The patch itself cannot provide
a satisfying pty support on Windows.  Its original purpose is to provide
support to term.el and other packages which setup a terminal emulator
inside Emacs.  It is not meant to be a replacement of `make-process` on
Windows, but is used as a supplementary method to patch the broken
term.el, which has long been an issue for Windows users.

Thanks.
