[clean-list] future of clean

[Arjen van Weelden]

Hi,

The Linux version already supports Generics and Dynamics, except the 
dynamic I/O and linking. Unfortunately, you need to extract the 
StdGeneric and dynamics library files from the Windows release.
I don't expect that dynamic I/O and linking will be implemented for 
Linux in the next release.

Hilde, for one, will not work on Linux. Partly because of lack of 
dynamic I/O and linking and party because of the Windows system calls I 
used in the implementation. I could write a Linux version but it would 
still be severely crippled without dynamic linking.

The GEC library uses Object I/O, which has no Linux port. Some 
volunteers sometimes work on implementing a Gtk port, but I don't expect 
it to be finished soon.

I expect the other "features" to work on Linux, as long as you get the 
required Clean files from the Windows zip.

regards,
	Arjen
