I know, and that's unfortunate, but I wonder if we should really spend time on 
fixing that if we can get multiplatform support merged in v3.20. We could 
consider multiplatform to be a regression fix and get it merged in v3.19, but 
that might be a bit far-fetched :-)

Great.

I can help with at least some of the remaining pieces if you share your 
working branch.
