So I've read you need to submit a mcf file from each client (mac, linux and windows), but is there a way to reduce any redundancy for files like xml, jars, etc. that are cross platform? Rarely I would update the execution scripts, just change the cross platform stuff.

Also, is there anyway to create a mcf that will work on all platforms? Since I use java, simply doing a java -jar game.jar will launch my game using the java path. The only thing I have different in my build is an exe for windows, but it really isn't necessary if desura can call java -jar game.jar. The library I use in java includes natives for each platform in all builds (less than 5mb each), so this isn't really necessary to separate these.
