I do remember seeing extensions that are system specific.
Some were Windows only, while others were created with one extension for 
each OS.

The "must" be created for Linux-x64 is a wonder for me.  I run many 
extensions on my Ubuntu 64-bit desktop, but only a few are specific to 
Linux or Linux-x64.  So why must there be a different extension for 
Linux-x64 than for the rest of the OSs?
