In general case, it's not going to happen, because the problem is not different platforms, but possible different APIs the project may use; some of the APIs can be only for Windows, some only for *NIX, some could be cross-plarform; some libraries would be installed or available on some installations of the system, and some would not. And so one. The whole idea to make a tool to transform the project to do who-knows-what on some different system would not make much sense.

You should understand that Linux and other "Unix-like" systems don't have the rigid structure based on hybrid kernel analogous to Windows. For example, desktop environments can be different, and so on.
