I didn't bother to hit the URL, but this isn't news.  Things like X11amp
and Cthugha are prime examples.  Those are fluff.  The non-fluff stuff
that's becoming linux specific is pissing me off.  It reminds me alot of
when I had to take lots of freeware code written on SunOS and port it to
Irix.  What a nightmare.
