I was referring to the way that the unix FFI calls use <cdecl:module:> while 
the mac and windows calls use <apicall:module:>. I thought this meant that 
cross platform modules would need to know what platform they're running on to 
select the right call type. Sorry if I misinterpreted it, I'm not very 
familiar with how the FFI works.
