PROBLEMS says:
*** C-z just refreshes the screen instead of suspending Emacs.
You are probably using a shell that doesn't support job control, even
though the system itself is capable of it. Either use a different shell,
or set the variable 'cannot-suspend' to a non-nil value.
--------
I'm not very familiar with how this works under Windows, but from the
text there, it sounds like it depends on the shell, so Emacs can't
really default the variable to t just based on the OS? Or is this
always the case on Windows (that `C-z' doesn't work?)
