The win32 port doesn't support GtkPlug and GtkSocket, which are the core
of bonobo component embedding. Of course, since all of the components
are in the same process now, it would be possible to hack up a no-op
plug/socket for them. But it would take some work. There may be further
X11 dependencies hiding elsewhere.
