Well, we don't really need the change in ModifyWaitEvent if we have
the change in WaitEventSetWaitBlock, right? I'd be inclined to ditch
the former and keep the latter. Also, this doesn't look right:

+ for (cur_event = set->events;
+ cur_event < (set->events + set->nevents)
+ && returned_events < nevents;
+ cur_event++)
+ {
+ if (cur_event->reset)
+ {
+ WaitEventAdjustWin32(set, cur_event);
+ cur_event->reset = false;
+ }
+ }

There's no need to include returned_events < nevents in the loop
condition here because returned_events isn't changing.

I think I'd also guard the reset flag with #ifdef WIN32. If it's not
properly supported elsewhere it's just a foot-gun, and there seems to
be no reason to write the code to properly support it elsewhere,
whatever that would mean.
