That's one reason why we need custom themes. That's where
system-convention-friendly settings should be collected, not all
across the board.
This would resolve the tensions then.
That way, a person coming from a Unix background can with one command
let his Windows Emacs behave like he is accustomed to.
Of course, settings that are _necessary_ on a given platform don't
belong into a theme.
