Note that _WIN32, not WIN32, should be used in #ifdefs and #ifs testing

the platform for which we're building (and that both should be avoided
if possible, i.e. write your code so that it works on all platforms).

use the old name - it'll still work with GLib 2.x or GTK+ 2.x, but will
also work with GLib 1.2[.x] and GTK+ 1.2[.x].
When different code must be used on UN*X and Win32, use a #if or #ifdef
that tests _WIN32, not WIN32. Try to write code portably whenever
possible, however; note that there are some routines in Ethereal with
platform-dependent implementations and platform-independent APIs, such
as the routines in epan/filesystem.c, allowing the code that calls it to
be written portably without #ifdefs.
1.1.2 Robustness.
Ethereal is not guaranteed to read only network traces that contain
