You'll probably find that you'll have to write your own Makefiles (or spend a 
lot of time messing around with autotools) to get things like that working. 
That's not actually hard (it's only difficult if you want to have it work on 
every single platform ever invented).

We have limited resources, so we only 'officially' support MSVC on windows 
(since that's what 99% of developers there use), though we also have support 
for borland's compiler, cygwin, and at least partial support for mingw. So 
though the code is ok, the build system won't deal with this stuff 
automatically for you.
