Exactly. Source code is useful for this, too, BTW. Also, there's no need
to keep the development for each platform seperate: Mozilla is a full
blown web browser that compiles for Windows, OS/2, MacOS, OpenVMS, Linux,
Solaris, and several other UNIX systems, and we can't even keep a Sam
emulator in one piece?

Why is this? The main portability problems are, AFAICS, toolkits, graphics,
sound and input libraries. Here, we're just dealing with a keyboard, a
mouse, and a bitmap screen. It can't be *that* hard...
