Good point, are there any two controls from different manufacturers that are completely portable between each other?
I know from reading my CNC g code manuals from other machines that I have that even generation to generation of the same controller the g code is not portable. You would think that the simple G0 would be the same between controllers but that is not the case, some of my machines Z up before doing the XY move and if Z is down do the XY move before the Z move and some do a straight linear move... So the question is do you cobble up your software just to be portable when no one else seems to do this... Just open up the list of post processors on most cam software and you see hundreds of choices usually...
