and here i thought that you were bright enough to understand that "hello world" 
was an example :?

yes, i understand what you are saying however, remember that the point i'm 
coming from is from that of the "average joe coder" who has no need of 
understanding all the deep intricacies of everything... they only want to simply 
and easily set up their environment so that they can "write once and compile 
everywhere" even if that means compiling for platforms that they don't even have 
access to ;)
