Interesting.
A package I'd like to see would tell me whenever I'm using something non-portable.
Something like lint that would print out error messages for each library function call in my source listing what platforms it was [not] available on and listing portable alternatives. With switches to filter the warning messages to only the platforms I'm interested in. I would then modify my code to get the warning message count down to zero and enhance the portability of my code.
