I agree, somewhat.

Hard-coding path or tool names, simply assuming that certain flags of 
tools exist and/or do the same thing on platforms other than your own, 
using certain features of a platform without checking that these exist 
on others as well (eg. /proc) can be EASILY avoided by sitting down 
first and think about the impact of what you're doing and trying to 
accomplish.

This isn't the first time that 'source code' was commited that was 
clearly Linux'ism. Don't you think that this will tick people (NOT 
using Linux) off if it happens again and again -- but could have 
easily been avoided?

I apologize if I ticked you off.

I probably over-reacted, however this was the seventh or eighth 
unnecessary Linux'ism I ran into in two days, though not all related 
to GNUstep-core. That kind of makes you... jumpy (and not in a good 
way).
