Thanks.

We cannot remove or make backward-incompatible changes in a public
API.  So removing/renaming w32-handle-dropped-file and/or changing its
signature is out of the question.  Can you rewrite the patch such that
it keeps this function and its arguments, and just change the
implementation to fix the problem?

Also, please accompany your changes with a ChangeLog-style description
(see CONTRIBUTE for the details), to make the job of installing the
changes easier.

Thanks again for working on this.
