FWIW, I agree.  There's no need to limit platform-specific stuff to
just a handful of platform-specific files.  We have a lot of platform
conditionals in many common Lisp files, and I see nothing wrong with
that.  By contrast, looking in *-win.el for something belonging to the
menu bar would be counter-intuitive, IMO.
