I didn't know there was a limit in Windows, but it stands to reason, as Microsoft
software is full of arbitrary limitations. 

At any rate, because we already have to manage calls to MsgWaitForMultipleObjects
anyway, it was simply expedient to manage my own list of timer records (particularly
as it shares almost all the code with the X11 counterpart anyway).

An additional reason is that there will be no possible interference from Windows'
timers and my own stuff this way.
