ns-win was merged before common-win existed, but when the latter was created,
only x-win and w32-win were modified to use it.  I think, Dan, this was because
ns-win was still being cleaned up (partly by me) to better match the other
terms, is that correct?  So it was just bad timing.  Or was the creation of
common-win actually prompted by issues raised during the NS port merge? 
(That's, e.g., where menu.c came from.)

I haven't looked at the ns-win code in a while so I'm a little hesitant to
attempt the cleanup now, but if someone wants to try I'm happy to answer
questions about "why the heck is this thing in there?" etc. and test the
resulting changes.


thanks,
