In that case, why define `selection-converter-alist' at all on
Windows? And why not rename it to `x-selection-converter-alist',
if it is X-specific?
On the other hand, although `x-get-selection' has that prefix,
it _is_ defined and used on Windows. Likewise, `x-set-selection'.
Code that makes use of the secondary selection will make use of
such functions, for instance.
So maybe they should lose their `x-' prefix (or suitable unprefixed
synonyms or wrapper functions be provided).
IOW, things do not seem so cut-and-dried as you describe them.
In the past we have renamed `x-defined-colors' to `defined-colors' etc.
Sounds like maybe some more such cleanup is in order.
