GLib tells you it's on windows via the G_OS_WIN32 define.

This code does the trick:

#ifdef G_OS_WIN32
#include <windows.h>
void
spawn_url(GtkWindow *parent, const char *url) {
    ShellExecute(NULL, "open", url, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
}
#else
/* tricky pan code here that provides the same function. */
#endif


(I pass in a GtkWindow to both so I can parent error dialogs to the
proper Window.)
