These kind of programs can be written using only standard C++ library
routines. As long you didn't use platform- or compiler-specific libraries,
it's just a recompile.

Again, if you really used only standardized library functions, it's just a
recompile in most cases. In practice people *think* their programs are
'clean', but they aren't. However if they're well written, porting is very
easy. Merely changing some definitions and/or function calls.
