One last point on this topic that I haven't seen mentioned.  Writing
portable code assumes you have access to multiple computers/compilers.
I ONLY have Aztec C.  I can't write code portable to any other C
compiler because I don't have any other C compiler.  If someone with
another brand of compiler wants to port my code to their brand that's
fine with me (thus the advantage of posting source), but generally that
can be a non-trivial task - especially with Mac sources (thus the
advantage of posting binaries).
