I think it's a good idea. In my experience, any serious program that wants to handle signals and exceptions on Windows cannot avoid supporting a large number of important EXCEPTION_* exceptions, because unlike on Posix platforms, most of them are not translated into SIG* style signals, at least in native Windows programs (as opposed to Cygwin).
