I do a lot of cross-platform work and have found that for me, the 
easiest solution is to make a few small wrapper functions for saving and 
 loading settings.  The functions then use #ifdefs to compile 
GConf-based code on GNU/Linux or use the registery functions on MS 
Windows.  My application will only call my wrapper functions directly, 
so all I need to do to cross-compile is add -DWINDOWS or -DLINUX to my 
Makefile.
