Well, it did come as a surprise. The fact that I had to pick a platform
only seemed to indicate which platform I would be picking for
development purposes, not deployment purposes. I've not seen a dev tool
that advertises itself as crossplatform that deviates from this
paradigm. Pick your dev platform but deploy on multiple platforms is
the way I'm used to things working.
