Thanks for the footwork.

Could you please identify the reasons for these differences?  That is, 
what modules are present in the list submitted to make-docfile on each 
platform, and which explain these differences?

AFAICS, there are some platform-specific files (that's where those w32-* 
and dos-* symbols come from); the question is whether all platforms 
should have the doc strings of those.

Then there are some x-* symbols which I thought should be in all 
versions.

And then there are some symbols like ucs-* and others which should have 
been in DOC on all systems--can you see why they aren't?
