This doesn't really ring true, unless one insists on defining
"portable" to include the idea of "universally".

I've got dozens of Python utilities that run equally well
on my Linux machines and my Windows machines.  I didn't
"port" them, I just wrote them in Python and put them in
both places.

Maybe I'm missing the point of Gilmore's comment...
