Several reasons:

- the code is cross platform and should remain so. Using additional
platforms allows you to catch some important stuff.
- BSD is quite popular platform that CppCMS runs well on it (same for
Solaris also less popular than BSD)
- Finally there is Mac OS X (that is quite close to BSD) and I can't
run Mac OS X VM for testing due to licensing restriction.

The bugs are small and should be quite fixable - in any case this
isn't the main reason the release is delayed.

If I would drop support of something that would be Windows :-) but I
don't want to as too many developers
for some reasons I can't understand use one ;-)

Patch file format :-)  (svn diff creates one)
