P.S. This "all the world's a Linux platforms" attitude is why a lot
of people are very snide about how many Linux userspace programmers
will introduced vast bloated, slow, infuriating autoconf and automake
infrastructure, and then use Linux'isms that completely break all
portability for anything other than Linux systems.... at which point,
why bother using autoconf and automake?
