i do it as well, but i've given up sharing too much, so i have
texmf-mswin/bin
texmf-mswin/web2c
texmf-linux/bin
....
along side
texmf/web2c
etc, just to avoid any clash with updates, differences in pool files,
etc; the sharing you hav ein mind only works when you never update or
update everything at the same time (win, lin, mac, ...)
