On Win32, almost perfectly. (some small breakage every release, but trivial
stuff)
The Kylix port looks like a Kylix port, with that, I mean a patched up
Windows version, emulating windows programming models. (IIRC it emulates
windows messaging systems using SYSV queues, something which was disabled in
default kernels on FreeBSD at the time)
I never ported it, since I didn't have faith it would be doable,
maintainable and portable enough. Instead I focussed on Indy.
OTOH, to be fair, everything was in a far more primitive state when I made
that decision, so one could have another look.

Kylix probably, but keep in mind it will be limited to Linux/x86. Best route
would be to try to get the Kylix port working, and then slowly migrate to
native, after a careful inventarisation of the features that it uses.
