why does crossover office work on EVERYTHING?


ok guys..something just crossed my mind...out of installing all programs, crossover office has to be theonly thing that has never ever complained about dependencies or ..really anything. i know its professionally made n such...but how do they do it? ive used it on suse 9.1, mandrake 9.2, 10.0, debian 3.0, knoppix 3.2, it just friggen WORKS...and im curious as to how things are programmed to allow that.

ive failed at installing winex...all kindsa stupid things, MDM5 doesnt matchup..needs some install, or like apt4suse, claims it needs a file thats there...but CXoffice in its complexity, just works.

Just an idea: maybe all libraries are statically compiled in...
