It's two different plug-ins to begin with:


For anything but the Microsoft Windows platforms:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/plug-ins/common/screenshot.c

For the Microsoft Windows platforms:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/plug-ins/win-snap/


Probably doesn't have to be this way, that's just how it got
implemented, and so far there has been no reason to change it.

A patch that unifies the code of the plug-ins, and makes screenshot.c
work for the Windows platforms as well - preferably with as little
platform-specific code as possible - would be nice.

Please note that this has been tried before.
