Yeah, technically its the same OS, and the configuration how to create
shared libraries doesn't belong in a OS section, but a toolchain
section - but thats being done for like every OS, because in most
cases there is an assumption that there is only one wide-spread
compiler/linker for that target OS.

In any case, i would suggest going with something as simple as
"windows" or "win32" to stick with microsofts short-form :p
