I think we should just remove the signals support for win32. The trigger
file method still works, and the signal method has always been a bit
iffy (it doesn't work when pg_standby isn't running, for example, which
happens between processing of each WAL file, because there's no process
to signal).

Is pg_standby killed correctly when postmaster dies?
