I'm not sure about this.  Whether I were using W32 or Mac or anything  
else it makes sense as a user to split these out.  Since if I'm an  
emacs user on other platforms, these will be exactly the things I  
don't know about and might want to set on moving to the new  
platform.  But anway it doesn't matter since it will be removed, I  
was only mentioning it to point out a possible hazard (which turns  
out not to be a hazard) about transitioning to .emacs.
