The idea is that if we just enclose the code itself in 
#ifdef PP_SYS_OS_WIN32 etc then the compiler won't see that code on Unix
(and the other way round). On the other hand if we make it a seperate
method and only enclose the call in #ifdefs, the compiler can check the
code no matter what system we work on.

Er, both ;)
If IsNativePath is true, the code assumes it starts in "plainfs" mode and
sets is_for_plain accordingly. Perhaps we should rename that to "native"
mode, is_native, IsNative() ? Would be clearer.

I just compiled the PFile part up to now, i.e. the stuff in src/ppUtils.cpp
was always missing. This is because the build system can't make one lib out
of all the code yet. Well, I'll try to fix that now.

Another thing - can you include your VC++ project files in in the src
package the next time?
