In my experience, bouncing between several directories is too strenuous
for developers.[1] Why not just stuff the platform specific stuff under
subdirs and put the intelligence in the makefiles?
folder1/Makefile (if target_platform=win32 call win32/Makefile...)
folder1/win32/Makefile
folder1/linux/Makefile
folder1/unix/Makefile
Keeping parallel directory trees in sync is also much more error prone
than subdirs, especially if a major refactoring or code reorganization
happens. Given that Subversion doesn't have true renames yet, multiple
directories could just be unnecessary pain multipliers.
[1] All developers are lazy as evidenced by the amount of time and
effort spent in making a computer do the work.
