I would go further, and define it without the w32_ prefix in fileio.c 
with a suitable #ifdef (HAVE_TRASHCAN for example).  If this feature is 
useful, then we will want to implement it on other platforms too. There 
seem to be a limited number of Trash directory implementations that 
cover Gnome, KDE and Mac OSX, and we should be able to figure out from 
the filesystem which implementation to use, either directly moving files 
into the .Trash directory, or calling a function like g_file_trash if 
the appropriate library is linked.
