Renaming from w32 to Win32 would not solve this, so I don't know why you even

I think the 3 refers to the major version of NT 3.1 which is what this port of
Emacs was originally written for. All these hardcoded constants to satisfy old
X specific window system informational functions date from the original port by
Microsoft interns.
