just one (hopefully) last remark

and, no, i cannot always test on such a machine for there are _none_ here, and i cannot install osx on my pc.
hmm, i perfectly well test all my libraries/externals (but very few (i think: 1) which are windoze only) on linux (debian), as this is where i do them, and still there have been bugs that would stop them to build on linux(fedora)...
i don't think that you test every piece of code you write on debian/redhat/fedora/slackware/suse/ubuntu/caldera/freebsd/openbsd/... even though you have the possibility to install each single one of these on your hardware.
you don't see the difference ?
actually this i think is the strength of CVS: a single person doesn't have to support all platforms, but in a collaborational effort everyone can test and fix on their personal preferred platform: et voila, finally we have a product that runs "everywhere" perfectly.
CVS is mainly about developing and not about releasing.
