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?

Probably your idea is right.
When I wrote multi-window mode, I don't know X extension mechanism.
So I embedded window manager into X server to send messages via internal
message queue.
Mwextwm enables an external wm. But it has some problem in
synchronization between X and Windows. Bug fix or redesign is needed.
