I think we (and midipix) have a different perspective from Yonggang
Luo on portable development. Our view is that you write to a POSIX (or
nearly-POSIX) target with fully working Unicode support and fix the
small number of targets (i.e. just Windows) that don't already provide
these things. Yonggang Luo's perspective seems to be more of a
traditional Windows approach with #ifdef and lots of OS-specific code,
but just making the Windows branch of the #ifdefs less hideous than it
was before. :)
