Are there any guidelines if one would like to restructure something?

For example, I am looking a lot in image.c I was playing with line drawing
on an image the other day, and I would love to not have to look into ns
and gdi code while working with x11 & cairo only. It is so easy to miss
if a single line is actually outside of some platform ifdef and similar. It
is so messy, at least if one is n00b like me :-).
