Or how about

Platform Extension Interpreter DOS .exd exd.exe Windows .exw exw.exe Windows Console .exwc exwc.exe Unix,Linux,BSD,OSX .exu exu Generic .ex any

Then 1st few lines of your program (even make a standard include) (pseudocode)

ifdef not platform LINUX then 
       puts(1,"This program is designed for the Linux platform") 
end ifdef 

etc

Otherwise put a comment at the top of the main file

(This is just as constraining to the coder as saying you have to run with this program to whoever runs the program).

Or, program run with exd

ifdef not platform WINDOWS_CONSOLE 
       create a batch file to run the program with exwc 
       exit 
elsifdef WINDOWS_CONSOLE 
       delete the batch file if created\\ 
end ifdef 

The program would (hopefully) transparently restart with the correct interpreter.
