Does the X11 version run on Linux only? Or does it run on Solaris and
FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD as well? In the latter case, isn't there a good
chance to make it work on Mac OS X (Darwin) + X11 too without many
changes? Or does Mac OS X have too many specificities not common to
some other supported OS?

Also, Firefox/Gecko uses GTK+ under X11. Hasn't most of the hard work
been done by porting GTK+?
