i know that raoul and i think nicolas run/use it on osx. i have seen it running
seemingly ok (from a click buttons in elm_test and scroll around etc. and all
the widgets seem to behave right) on windows 7 last time jpeg worked at getting
it to run there.

so it does work. what we don't have is regular osx/windows builds and installs
(from git) that produce a nice packaged result (setup.exe/whatever for osx). it
might actually be a good idea to set these up at some point.

so technically it works. the q i guess is more about packaging/distribution and
ensuring these happen often enough so we know we broke something and that it
has impacted something. ie - we need users who care about it on those
platforms. so chicken and egg. no users and we don't care what happens. but if
we don't care - no users. :)
