-	* win/tclAppInit.c: WIN32 native console signal handler removed.
-	This was found to be interfering with TWAPI extension one.  IMO,
-	special services such as signal handlers should best be done with
-	extensions to the core after discussions on c.l.t. about Roy
-	Terry's tclsh children of a real windows service shell.
+	* unix/tcl.m4 (TCL_CONFIG_SYSTEM): Factor out the code to determine
+	the operating system version number, as it was replicated in several
+	places.
