Yes, unless VC++ is one of the targets.. :)  Which for me, it is.

I don't want to flame or blame - this is a case of two approaches, two 
flavors, and both have pros and (s)cons. ;)

Sure, but Hamster also has a 'try' feature:

    local have_socklen= env_ported:Try [[
		#include <sys/types.h>	// This is C code :)
		#include <sys/socket.h>
		int main( void ) { return sizeof( socklen_t ); }
		]]

That gives 'true' if the compilation (with settings from environment 
'env_ported') succeeds. This particular code differs OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) 
from 10.3 (Panther) - required for building luaSocket succesfully. :)

Yeah, I know. Apple is good but not when it comes to backwards 
compatibility..
