Well, that's the point of the ac-archive, to get comments from
somewhere else. Surely one could wait till a third person
compiles your own software project on darwin or msvc but it
is better to wait till some other project picks up your macro
and that other software might get built on darwin or msvc,
and you just pick up the bug reports ;-)=) no really, just
wait for the cries from the other side of the world, that's
pretty much okay with the ac-archive, we do not have a
stress test for macros like the core autoconf, ye know, and
no release personal with a dozen platforms either to check
things on... ;)
