I've mentioned in the past that I want to use EFL as a cross platform
development system, so that I don't have to "worry about things other
than Linux".  So yes, I could be considered a "user" of EFL on Mac and
Windows, even though I try to avoid actually using Mac and Windows.  So
Rasters chicken and egg problem meets my chicken and egg problem.  I
don't mind being a three headed chicken, so long as someone else looks
after the egg side of things.  B-)
