This is unlikely, unfortunately, to be truly simple.  It might be easier
to support both platforms by allowing the two platform sets to share
certain core features, but if they have GUIs or any low level
integration (i.e. using the proper Library vs. /usr/lib directories,
etc), then the code bases will have significant divergence. 

I've coded for both MacOSX and Unix/X apps (GTK, GNOME, and plain
vanilla X).  They are different in many fundamental ways.
