The only thing I was definitive about is the fact that I always hated 
(and still do) the idea to look for files in too many different places, 
e.g.,

Cross/plugins/FooPlugin/FooPlugin.h
Cross/plugins/FooPlugin/FooPlugin.c
Win32/plugins/FooPlugin/sqWin32FooPlugin.h
Win32/plugins/FooPlugin/sqWin32FooPlugin.c

It's just too much for my simple mind to deal with ;-)
