Unix users expect them to work.

But IMHO it is a bad idea to put several batches/scripts for each platform into the main directory. It would be better to add a INSTALL.txt, describing the most common build commands for every platform and pointing to the wiki for the rest. At the moment these things are in the README.txt.
