It depends on whether or not you design the software from the beginning 
to be cross platform or not.  It also means working within certain 
constraints.  For example, using only ANSI C/C++ code.  Obviously non-
ANSI C/C++ functions are not going to be portable.  It also means 
isolating your core functional code from code that handles stuff such as 
the user interface.

Not hard to do so much when you're starting out, but much harder to do 
with an existing project...
