Portability between unixes is a rather narrow objective considering the 
diversity of the other platforms.
I've been toying with Interix lately; I've been pleasantly surprised by 
how well various tools build.  I was not expecting that at all.

Though I really dislike how Interix *insists* that $HOME is 
/dev/fs/C/Documents\ and\ Settings/dacut -- those spaces break a lot of 
scripts.
