well, to be fair, i think it's more that people arn't into
mucking around with config/autoconf stuff for hours before
they can even attempt to recompile their app, only to find
that all the #ifdefs don't quite match up because something
in the autoconf mucking they did isn't *quite* right, and
that even after sorting all that out, the various included
bits arn't *quite" ANSI/POSIX, or they rely on various
"extentions" that "everybody" has, in one form or another
(or several forms), hence all the #ifdefs.

if really all it involved was typing 'make' (or mk, or
whatever), this wouldn't be an issue. but things are hard
enough going from linux to, for example, FreeBSD. APE
does a pretty good job of matching ANSI/POSIX - but the
code in question often doesn't.
