It's *intended* to run on anything Unix or Unix-like, but in practice,
development was Linux-centric for long enough that everything else is
in practice a second-class platform, and implying otherwise would be
misleading.

I understand the actively supported platforms where stuff can be
expected mostly to work (Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris) are
already listed. AIUI, Wine isn't actually working properly at present
on OpenBSD and NetBSD.

(Heck, I'm fiddling with getting it compiling on Windows ... but I'm
not demanding that be listed to be fair.)
