first
without applying anything else, we can make sure that it would not
regress
for Unix people (and catch regressions early if any), while Windows
people
polish the platform specific parts of the implementation in the later
parts of the series that can be replaced.
Because changes to Makefile variables tend to have unexpected side
effects
(people have their own definition to override them in their build
procedures and you can easily break them unless you are careful), I
wanted
to make sure the common part is solid before waiting for the other
part.
But if you think it is better not to apply any one, until other parts
mature, it is Ok by me, too.
I think you should apply it.
