"If you do support Windows, please do not abbreviate it as “win”. In
hacker terminology, calling something a “win” is a form of praise. You're
free to praise Microsoft Windows on your own if you want, but please don't do
this in GNU packages. Instead of abbreviating “Windows” to “un”, you
can write it in full or abbreviate it to “woe” or “w”. In GNU Emacs,
for instance, we use ‘w32’ in file names of Windows-specific files, but
the macro for Windows conditionals is called WINDOWSNT"
