Some of it is posted on <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/bringing-windows-games-to-linux-622659?artc_pg=1" rel="nofollow">Tech Radar</a>. Funny, I visualised him rather differently! I imagined he'd be slim, clean shaven with a side parting :p Anyway, the article is very informative and discusses the porting process.

We had a 3d game development class in school and 2 of us ported a OGL/DirectInput to OGL/SDL thus making it cross platform. I never saw a point in learning DX, or the windows sound system, never to late to learn I guess, though it would likely require a copy of Windows... Back to playing with my 2d Java engine that uses Swing/JOGL/LWJGL... I know enough C/C++ to do damage, enough of OGL to load a Quake2 model and texture it, and used SDL 4 years ago (1.2 I think).
