Personally... I feel that OS X and Win32 are the two main drivers for package adoption. I think that if they are on OS X and Win32, then linux will be covered. But at the same time, we don't want to cut off either of those just by adopting a new library.
Jon, we _DON'T_ want lots of users just yet. Look what happens when you get lots of users: they complain about features not being available; they complain that the interface isn't exactly like their favourite program XYZ; they clutter mailing lists up with questions answered already in the FAQ or user manual(which we haven't even written yet); and you spend the whole time worrying about fixing code to compile on borland visual gcc 2.96.
Can we stop treating this as a commercial project whose main aim is to maximise user base? I've been on such projects before, and they usually die a horrible death.
