Not sure where you get the idea that DevIL isn't cross-platform.
Even says on their site:
Portable, supports Windows, Mac OS X and *nix.
And if you're talking about the module not coming with Mac libraries, well too bad. Unless someone either a) donates a Mac or b) I somehow have a change of heart and decide Macs aren't the spawn of satan, Macs will be an entirely DIY situation.
Not providing Linux libraries, on the other hand, is more laziness than anything else. Linux support is a waste of time in my book and does nothing more than let you put down "Linux Support" on a features list. If you need that on a features list, then I'd advise you find some way to make it work with all distributions and kernels builds. I have no intention of going through the painful process of dealing with the stupid amount of variation between Linux systems.
