No. The C OS function declarations go in druntime. The same goes for all of 
the POSIX functions as well as any other system functions specific to Linux, 
Mac OS X, or FreeBSD.

Any Windows stuff in Phobos which uses Windows OS functions should be wrappping 
OS functions rather than simply being declarations for them.
