I had a look a while ago and got to the conclusion that for code
readability and maintenance, it would be better to do major refactoring
for all os-related code.

The very bad news is that I just realised that I did this in the svn
checkout of the code (it was a while ago) and I removed it without
backing-up a diff before cloning the new git repository when GNOME
switched to git.  I am therefore not able to provide my dirty patches
:-/.

AFAICR, it has been somewhat trivial to have the code working on
FreeBSD, but because 1) the hack was ugly and 2) sshfs (at least in this
use case) is problem-prone (if I recall correctly, I had to manually
umount sshfs mounts a couple of times in order to launch Tomboy again) I
never pushed this in the BSD# repos.


Please tell me if you can take care of this and contribute a patch. If
not, I might find a little time for a workaround by the end of the
month but can't promise anything.
A nice solution would be do the refactoring required to make Tomboy
OS-agnostic and cope with FreeBSD and GNU/Linux and provide the ability
to add extended support for other operating systems and merge it
upstream.  It's currently low in my TODO-list but if there is much
demand for this I might reconsider scheduling it with a higher priority.

Thanks!
Romain
