Miller was convinced to use __APPLE__ and __linux__, but for some  
reason I don't understand, he is averse to using _WIN32. (AFAIK MSVC  
and gcc have used _WIN32 since the mid 90's, if not longer).

I submitted patches to convert things to __APPLE__ and that was  
accepted.  The patch for _WIN32 was not.  You could try submitting  
one again...
