I took this out to break the code you mention, because any code relying 
on the above is definitely wrong. The purpose of the sysdeps-unix.h and 
sysdeps-win.h headers is that they are only included in 
platform-specific files. main.c is not a platform-specific file.

Please study the pattern in the attached patch. The approach is:
  1) add function in dbus-sysdeps.h which does the logical 
cross-platform operation
  2) adapt cross-platform code to use said function
  3) implement said function in sysdeps-unix.c or sysdeps-win.c
  4) submit patch for review and commit afterward
  5) wait for the maintainer of the other port to implement it for the 
other platform
