I agree. I mean, I put effort into my code to as portable as possible,
and love hearing from people, "wow, your code compiled on OS Foo on
architecture Bar, and that almost never happens with downloaded
source!", especially when I've never even been near aforementioned Foo
and Bar.
By writing cross platform code, it even compiles cleaner and easier
within the x86 environment as well.
