Ready to compile for Windows, FreeBSD, Solaris, GNU/Linux, MacOSX... ? Easier
for you but not the developers. It is better to have a common distribution and
have the package configured on the right target. This help porting software on
new targets too.

As I said, with GNU softwares it is easier to install a GNU tooset. Most of
them are using Makefile and sed/grep/awk are really nice tools to have anyway.

Just my 2 cents,
Pascal.
