In general, it shouldn't be meaningful to "officially" support
platforms unless there's some kind of contractual support agreement.
The ISO has defined C semantics clearly and POSIX has defined system
behavior somewhat clearly, so integrit should build and run fine on
any conforming platform.

In practice, integrit runs on many platforms because it is written
portably.  The current (CVS) version surely runs on more platforms
than I probably know.  I've heard of more than I can remember, but
here are a few:

  Linux (no arch restrictions I know of)
  Windows XP with Cygwin
  HPUX
  Solaris
  FreeBSD

I think it runs on True64 UNIX, but there are some ongoing issues, so
don't quote me on that.

Folks who are using integrit on other platforms or have heard of it
being used successfully elsewhere, could you respond to the list and
Cc Mr. Wotring?
