Did you ever do that?
I suppose NO.

Well I did not write a vm, either but I do also not give silly
comments on how doing it right :-)

P.S. no offence but I doubt that you can use standard c to factor out
the
differences between windows and Xlib e.g. without knowing them both.
How do you abstract from something you do not know?
You are right in your concept, of cource, but than you have to port to
each new
library and if that does not WORK?
What is you benefit in factoring something out in the first prototype?
