Wireshark supports both platforms with GLib 1.2[.x]/GTK+ 1.2[.x] and GLib
2.x/GTK+ 1.3[.x] and 2.x. If at all possible, either use only
mechanisms that are present in GLib 1.2[.x] and GTK+ 1.2[.x], use #if's
to conditionally use older or newer mechanisms depending on the platform
on which Wireshark is being built, or, if the code in GLib or GTK+ that
implements that mechanism will build with GLib 1.2[.x]/GTK+ 1.2[.x],
conditionally include that code as part of the Wireshark source and use
the included version with GLib 1.2[.x] or GTK+ 1.2[.x]. In particular,
if the GLib 2.x or GTK+ 2.x mechanism indicates that a routine is
deprecated and shouldn't be used in new code, and that it was renamed in
GLib 2.x or GTK+ 2.x and the new name should be used, disregard that and
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].
Wireshark supports platforms with GLib 2.4[.x]/GTK+ 2.4[.x] or newer.
If a Glib/GTK+ mechanism is available only in Glib/GTK+ versions
newer than 2.4/2.4 then use "#if GTK_CHECK_VERSION(...)" to conditionally
compile code using that mechanism.
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
