There's no need to exclude MacOS X from the platforms where internationalization
is applied. GNU gettext supports MacOS X fine.

The same holds for Cygwin. Cygwin also defines WIN32 in many configurations.

On native Woe32 (mingw or MSVC), however, I can understand that you want to
understand the DLL version and linking nightmare. The #ifdef test for these
platforms is
   #if (defined _WIN32 || defined __WIN32__) && !defined __CYGWIN__
