To clarify: I thought the platform-specific bits would cause more
problems at runtime than at compile-time, but the more I think about
that the less it makes sense. You're definitely right - getting a
reliably working port will take a good deal of work (hence it being
offered as a three-month project). It's just nice to know that the
actual C code is reasonably portable.
