Not just the vast majority, but virtually _all_ Mac apps (there are a few
exceptions, most notably games) can do this.  It's not a feature that's
written into the program, necessarily, but rather a feature of the OS. 
Some programs (like games) are written in such a way that go around the
OS--and so don't/can't use multiple monitors.  But any app that follows
the conventions outlined in Apple's Inside Macintosh series doesn't even
know or care that it's being dragged around a monitor workspace that looks 
like an inverted T, or maybe a W, or whatever.  :-)
