Unless the API is somehow relying on stuff from the kernel headers (which
would make it "broken" in any case), it's already cross-platform. It's
possible to implement almost any given API on a cross-platform basis. An
example that comes to mind is gtk+, which was written with only UNIX in
mind, but has been ported to Windows (BeOS in progress).
I think you'd have to try very hard to come up with an example of an API
that wasn't cross-platform.

The first thing a programmer needs to admit is that any program is by far
more complex than his own mind. Thats why he partitions it into neat
pieces and avoids complexity.
