I think that's a "yes" for all three items.

Look at how we're handling the config file stuff in libsvn_subr
(config.c, config_file.c and the completely Win32-specific
config_win.c). I expect the mime type handling could be abstracted even
more -- keep the implementations in separate files for each platform.
I'd prefer that to huge #ifdefs in io.c.
