Multiplatform Builds

I'm writing this down so I won't ever again forget, in using a Dev/Build environment pair that is Windows/Unix, I remember to plan for the following:

1. Unix likes \n, Windows \r\n for line endings.  Any file comparisons should ignore differences in line endings.
2. Unix cares about case in filenames, Windows not so much.  Use lowercase filenames for everything if you can.
3. Also, if you are generating timestamps and not using UTC when you output them, be sure that your development code runs tests in the same time zone as your build machine.

I'm sure there's more, but these are the key ones to remember.

P.S.  I think this is a start of a new series, on Duh moments.
