I disagree, if I run Emacs on X I don't want to wade through lines of 
documentation that applies for W32/msdos/OSX.

I don't think adding two maintainence tasks (keeping doc-strings in 
sync and making sure all shared functions go into the shared file) we 
have to keep doing forever is better than solving it once and for all.  
And if the real function is in another file the benefit of clicking on 
"C source code" is reduced.
