  Heh.   C'mon.   It's a GIGANTIC commercial platform.   People who aren't
porting to OS X now will be porting to OS X later.

  Better yet, though, would be to write the software in a portable
fashion in the first place, and avoid using OS X's hokey whiz-bang
"extensions" to UNIX.   Then, very litte "porting" will be necessary,
whichever direction you're going.   It's readily possible; I've been
doing it for years.
