Purely for engine code, that's true.  Standard windows has APIs
that are nearly compatible with xxux for command line initialization
and ordinary file and network operations.  

If your program has ANY gui at all though, you're pretty much screwed.
Mac Windows and Linux GUIs are about as far apart as any three platforms
can be.  There are lots of "compatibility" solutions, including your
choice of platform independent languages; but they all create essentially
a fourth platform that you have to target, and once again, you're screwed
unless you started that way.
