Cogito compiled on Mac OS X (FreeBSD, Darwin) without problems, but  
with the first command I ran into problems, as "cg-init" gives  
"xargs: illegal option -- r" -- which seems to require GNU xargs, not  
my BSD-one that does not have an -r option. I then quickly tried to  
compile the GNU-version of xargs OMM, which failed for some (for me)  
non-obvious reason, and I did not find time to dig into this.

But, as Raphael says, it should be basically possible to get Cogito  
on other platforms than Linux. Any success stories are appreciated! :-)
