I'll be optimising for Red Hat Linux. I will *not* be specifically porting
to any other UNIX flavor, so anything other than RHL will either work or
not work based purely on whether it compiles cleanly and operates properly.
(I *may* also optimise for Solaris at a later date, but this is not a
priority. HP-UX and AIX are right out.) IOW, if it compiles and works on
BSD, cool -- if it doesn't, tough. ;)
