The patch for SIGWINCH applies for the case when SIGWINCH is not defined
- which happens only on some non-UNIX platforms I guess, I do not know if on
MS platforms.

With HAVE_GETPWENT you are right that patch may be completely unrelated to the
MS platforms.

I do not have anything else than you have.  I just used diff on
	ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/readline-5.1.tar.gz
vs. src/readline.  But one should rather check individual patches
with git annotate / git show etc. and compare them against readline-6.2.
