well, for NMM, that is only partly true. From the point of software 
desgin, we did care about portability: All platform dependent code is 
completely abstracted and therefore hidden within classes. So there is 
no inherent portability problem.

The only reason NMM is currently only supported on Linux is quite 
simple: the NMM team only has access to Linux systems (PCs or ARM PDA, 
e.g. Compaq iPAQ). If someone is willing to help with the support for 
other platforms, you are heavily welcome.

Have fun, Marco.
