Well, it's probably a good thing to make it more portable between platforms.

 From the PostgreSQL point of view, having a good set of database 
benchmarks that we can run on a wide range of platforms (*BSD, Linux, 
Solaris, AIX, etc) is a good thing.  There are definitely differences 
between how (i.e.) PostgreSQL on Linux and PostgreSQL on Solaris handle, 
and this would contribute further tools for developing Best Practise 
methods to implementing PostgreSQL on each.
