You can always "port" a piece of software to a limited environment by
reimplementing the missing bits of the environment inside your app.

The problem is:
1. it's more work than porting to an environment which already provides
what you need
2. your missing bits reimplementation is necessarily less rich than the
ones provided natively by other environments (since the development costs
are not shared with other users)
3. if you're not careful, the limitations of your missing bits
reimplementation are quickly carried over to the other ports
