Or does it have to be a separate source tree? I'll suggest to use different branches for every port (including MS Windows). This way you can avoid most part of the #ifdef crazyness, keeping the code much cleaner and responsability divisions better defined. A consequence of this would be to have to distribute several source tarballs (one per port) instead of just a monolithic one, but I think it is a lesser price to pay. [snip]
