I would need to look into this in more detail but I am not sure
sigaction is supported. In any case, these APIs on Windows tend to be
more for POSIX compliance and not the "Windows way" so I am not sure
there'd be a lot of value in supporting it. In any case, you should
probably still take a look but keep this in mind when you're looking at
MSDN :)
