   Would be, but in reality it is technically far far away. While latest Delphi   
   compiles to multiple platforms even from the same code base, that code base   
   has to be designed for it. WinPoint however is very much built around Win32,   
   so porting that stuff to something that is compilable for multiple platforms   
   essentially involves  reworking everything. Probably not going to happen.    
      
   Also, such a big effort makes not much sense if WP runs on Wine (which I   
   expect). If it does not directly run on Wine, that may also be easy to fix.
