Cross-platform Pre/Post-Build Steps

Hola!
Is there a way to make pre-build script cross-platform? I've looked into attaching a build script like that:

--- Code: ---function SetBuildOptions(base)
{
    if (PLATFORM == PLATFORM_MSW) {
        IO.Execute(_T("blahblah.bat"));
    } else {
        IO.Execute(_T("blahblah.sh"))
    }
}
--- End code ---
But the problem is it gets executed three times during build process. Which could be a huge bummer, given script execution time. Maybe there is a way to determine which execution it is from the script that I've missed?
Thanks in advance.

Jenna:
You can use something like

--- Code: ---$if(PLATFORM == PLATFORM_MSW){ [[ print(_T("ls -l")); ]] }{ [[ print(_T("pwd")); ]] }
--- End code ---
as pre- or post-build step.

Besides the fact that ls -l is not a proper Windows command (except i.e. you have GnuWin32 installed) this is correct.

Thanks, didn't knew that, could be useful.
But still, since build script is the only (am I wrong?) way to automatically build against different libs for different platforms, it would be nice to do abovementioned in build script too.

Have you tried to use http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Global_compiler_variables ?
