The only point I was trying to make is that your generic statement doesn't
always apply to all situations. Sometimes in a competitive situation "his gain"
is "my loss". Everything depends on the objectives of the author. Having Windows
using best gems from Linux would harm Linux, IMHO.

Now I will restrain myself from continuing with this discussion, otherwise
Karsten will kick out both of us from this list <g>
