My initial point/suggestion was to leverage capability built into the

By introducing at least three code paths for the three major platforms,
and probably some more for others like Solaris, AIX, OS/2 and whatever
else builds can be made for.
Including the multiple variations/flavours/versions of those platforms.
In fact I find it quite remarkable that SeaMonkey/Mozilla/OSS et al
manage to actually get everything (well most everything) to work in
Windows flavours from Win2K to Win7, linux (about a hundred different
distros), Mac's of all different OS versions, etc., etc. Not to forget
32bit and 64bit variations of many of those. Amazing...
One reason for this is that we are trying to be as little as possible
dependent on things that are specific to one platform or version of it,
with the nice side-effect that many of us only need to develop on one
platform and version and write code that works on all the others.
That's the real benefit of the Mozilla platform.
