Makes one onder why it is not inside #ifdef, but presumably it is no-op on
other platforms (which is fine, better than fine)?

That's Ugly isn't it? Can't you do this with Makefile macro without
#ifdef please?

Hmm. The above almost makes me barf and suggest making them two totally
separate functions (i.e. introduce a new "show_html_page_on_windows()"
function and do not bother us Unix folks ;-).
But I suspect your code is not beyond salvaging. Why is the htmlpath
computed by hand in this function, instead of having the port specific
implementation hidden inside get_html_page_path() function?
About the execution part, isn't it the matter of using "open" (whatever
that is) as one of the supported backend for web--browse to unify these
two independent case arms?
