Two related lines of inquiry: 1) Under *normal* development rules -- e.g not a pre-release bug-fix-only phase, nor a not-quite-pre-release code slush like (I think) we're in right now, for 2.2.8 -- surely you aren't suggesting that EVERY contribution must be validated on EVERY platform, prior to push? These were tested on cyg/ming and linux, so in general, during /normal/ development, that should be sufficient contra reveiwer comments, right?
The bar seems to be raised quite high now in libtool development so that only those who practice the art regularly are able to satisfy all the requirements.
It seems to me that if the patch works on several platforms, and there is no reason to believe that any issues with other platforms can't be reasonably fixed, that the patch should be accepted. 100% coverage on all platforms is not a reasonable requirement for a patch.
