1) Show all the functions (when the number is low), but place platform specific functions under separate headers: "Windows", "Linux/BSD/POSIX", "OS X", etc.
If a function isn't available on all OS's then all Hoogle would be encouraging you to do is break compatibility and stop me from using your software.
If my software works at all on Windows, it will only ever be by accident; it certainly won't fit comfortably into the Windows environment or look-and-feel. If I'm writing a Unix text filter, why should I give up a library or tool that would make my life easier because it's only available on Unix? jcc
