That is the easy part. The more difficult part is checking whether the 
key is bound in Emacs first.  Does your low level keyboard hook patch 
already do something like this? Otherwise adding a default binding on 
Windows only to send the SC_CLOSE system event is another way of 
handling it that is closer to the system behaviour than the alternative 
bindings that have been suggested here.
