Hi Eswar,
I am developing on FreeBSD 6.2 and 7, testing on a VM with Windows 2003 Server, 
and deploying for now, on Win32 too. We will very possibly deploy to *nix 
servers at a later stage (when we start to have dedicated servers for the SOLR 
component).

I haven't found any issues across platforms, other than the new line - for some 
reason, SOLR didnt seem to like the new line as read from the system 
environment under Win32 - defaulting to unix's \n was enough to fix it.

use cygwin for this. I haven't used it for solr, but i've used it extensively 
elsewhere when I have to endure win32.

cheers,
