I meant "we", referring to developers in general, and any code we may write.

But that's not what I'm asking for.  I would just like to see some amount of
acceptance among lilypond developers that not everyone works in the
same environment, and willingness to accommodate those who choose
different environments, for whatever reason.
And, as I suggested before, it doesn't seem unreasonable to at least
provide links to the various versions of things that are known to be needed.

I did send some code actually, admittedly not as proper patch contribution,
but you didn't seem terribly interested in it.

Well, I do believe I'm capable of making constructive contributions towards
lilypond.  But the idea of fighting against a "there is only linux" culture 
doesn't
really attract me.
