Regarding this patch...

Well, it's really rather low-impact in the first place.  Apparently the
Win32 development environment you're using is pretty close to
Unix/Posix.  Good.

A lot of the patch has to do with avoiding SIGHUP on Win32.  Is that
because the symbol SIGHUP isn't defined, or because it acts incorrectly?
In either case, it might be better to make a Lynx utility function (e.g.
LYsignal()) to encapsulate these differences.  The code already has
Linux avoiding SIGBUS and VMS mostly avoiding SIGINT.

If it's only that there is no such symbol as SIGHUP, the code should
probably read:

  #ifdef SIGHUP
  (void) signal(SIGHUP, ...);
  #endif /* SIGHUP */

which makes it generic.
