If you count OS/2, you can also count Windows 3.x, Windows '95, NetBSD
and I think FreeBSD, the first two in DOS boxes, the second two using
Linux compatibility packages.  The NEXTSTEP version runs under
NEXTSTEP/Motorola and NEXTSTEP/Intel.

Yup, and we support both a.out and elf binaries.  Woohoo.

Building and testing a complete set of binaries for a CD-ROM is a pain
(the builds are mostly automated though), but hopefully we'll only
need to do that once more.
