Speaking from the perspective of someone who has been involved with
1) Multiple real world retargets
2) Maintaining multiple targets and branches
3) Porting and maintaining code across several OS
#if == hell
------------------
It doesn't immediately solve the problem, but what if all the target

progress will eventually win if there's a plan.
I can't speak for the best solution in this case, but generally thought
to chime in..
