Well, Win32 isn't a problem. It's rather a problem that i've to handle
with a few different UNIX-dialects (HP-UX, AIX, SINIX, LINUX)
and that the distribution process for these platforms is automated,
so i'm actual constrained to provide one set of header-files
(including differentiation via "#ifdef _TARGET_[PLATFORM]" preprocessor-
directives).
To make confusion complete, i've also to support MPE.
