They acquired a company with the technology for Win32, and then had
to build equivalent bits for other platforms, as I understand it.

In my minor experience with cross-platform development, all of
software is "special circumstances".
Retrofitting other platforms into a graphically-intensive app is
something that I suspect would take me longer than a few days, but I
may not be as good at this as you are. (And Google's hiring,
perpetually, so if you think you can help them make this porting
issue trivial I bet they'd love to hear from you.)
