What is our target platform list then ?

I think glib will run fine on most unices.  (linux/solaris/irix/aix etc,etc)

What else ?  NT ?  Macs ?

I've often thought it would be good to have a dp package which
you can run on N64 or playstationII, or any other fast and v.cheap
hardware, but its probably not a top priority ;)

Hmmmm.
