giowin32.c:g_io_win32_check() has code currently to set G_IO_HUP only
if none of the other G_IO_ bits is set. I added that logic at some
point, but I can't recall why... could it be because some software
misbehaves if its callback is invoked with both G_IO_IN and G_IO_HUP?
Would it be safest to continue like this? Does the Unix implementation
ever set G_IO_HUP together with G_IO_IN (G_IO_OUT)?
