PicoGUI wasn't as portable as it should have been, but it really wasn't
tied to Linux at all. Its networking code used BSD sockets, and I think there
were a few POSIXisms elsewhere, but most of the OS-specific code was in
video and input drivers that you wouldn't be using anyway.

I think the biggest problem was just motivation in general. It's hard to
get excited about a GUI that doesn't already do everything you want it to...
especially when it has no applications :)
