Multi-window design rationale

[Joe Krahn]

Why is multi-window mode designed as an "internal window manager" 
instead of an external Win32-aware external WM? It seems to me that the 
advantages of an internal WM are no different from an internal WM on a 
normal X server.

I think it would be less of a hack for an X-Client WM to make Win32 
calls than is having WM code embedded into X. Are there important 
reasons it was done differently?
