I am really sad to know that Clean is loosing portability and
is being target mainly to Windows platforms. I have been
waiting for improvements for the Linux platform for some time
(mainly in the libraries) but it did not happened. Is it
the case that the great majority of Clean programmers are
Windows programmers? Are not there a lot of Linux (or other
OS) programmers waiting for a better Clean for their
platform?

Probably the Clean team does not have the resources to
support well other platforms.
