I downloaded the windows binary package and the source package for all platforms.
I ran the self-extracting archive under windows. For the source, I built under Linux and did make install.
Now when I diff the two opencv2 directories, I see many differences:

I haven't confirmed, but I think that misusing the Windows headers on Linux might cause link errors in my program. So I'm wondering:
- What is the reason for the difference?
- Is it safe to use the "all platforms" headers on Windows?
