Certainly not.  GNU/Linux is simply the limit of what most of the developers
have installed at home.  I was to support at least all Unix flavors,
plus Win, plus anything else anyone wants to help port it to.  (Which
since it is mostly Java shouldn't be too big a deal, except for perhaps
some Win AWT peers).

But of course you must run before you can walk, which is why we are
first focusing on Japhar+GNU/Linux.
