Change all uses of win95, winnt, and win32 into Windows 95, Windows NT, and W32, respectively. Expand "win" substring in variables referring to Microsoft Windows constructs into "windows". Canonicalize header comments to use same terminology.

;;; Commentary:

;; This code helps GNU Emacs maintainers keep the loaddefs.el file up to
;; date.  It interprets magic cookies of the form ";;;###autoload" in
;; lisp source files in various useful ways.  To learn more, read the
;; source; if you're going to use this, you'd better be able to.

;;; Code:

(defun make-autoload (form file)
  "Turn FORM, a defun or defmacro, into an autoload for source file FILE.
Returns nil if FORM is not a defun, define-skeleton or defmacro."
  (let ((car (car-safe form)))
    (if (memq car '(defun define-skeleton defmacro))
	(let ((macrop (eq car 'defmacro))
	      name doc)
	  (setq form (cdr form)
		name (car form)
		;; Ignore the arguments.
		form (cdr (if (eq car 'define-skeleton)
			      form

;;; ;;; once in loaddefs.el.
;;;
;;; Counter-note: Yes, they should be marked in this way.
;;; make-docfile only processes those files that are loaded into the

;;; which have autoloaded entries *and* are processed by make-docfile;
