Not only that - with your own small bindings to just the functions that you=
 need, you might find it easier to re-bind to native Windows API if the nee=
ded functionality can be reasonably mapped. With Florist you would need to =
stack the bindings one on top of another, which unnecessarily complicates t=
hings.
With this in mind, try to anticipate this need for portability early on and=
 make sure that you do not commit to the interface that would make such tra=
nsition unnecessarily difficult.
