Just write your package for whichever variant you care about, and then post it to gnu.emacs.sources and/or emacswiki and then something magic happens and people send you patches to add support for the other flavors. Stefan PS: Yes, I know people tend to first ask for that support rather than send patches, but if you wait long enough, the patches will come. If they don't, it's a pretty clear sign that nobody cares enough about it, so your effort would have been wasted anyway.
