Comment:
I've attached a patch for the developers guide, which removes references
to specific supported platforms, but provides a link to those supported.
The changes also give some advice on what steps can be taken to ensure
packages work on the supported platforms.
Here's the original page, with all the platforms mentioned, and a totally
out of date set of compilers:
http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/inclusion.html
Here's the revised copy, with very little emphasis on specific systems,
but with links to our supported systems.
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/sage-4.5.alpha4/devel/sage-
main/doc/output/html/en/developer/inclusion.html
There's a short additional paragraph about how to improve the portability
of packages, but it is not detailed.
I also added a note that usually a new standard package must have spent
some time as an optional package.
