No. For things like this, we switch over from sleep to Parrot_sleep, and
have the win32.c platform-specific code do what it needs to. That's more or
less what we've done with Perl 5, to varying degrees of success.
Not, mind, that sleep's a good example, since the 'real' sleep will really
be a "do nothing but process events for the next x seconds" call, but
that's a separate issue.
