There is a general GNU Project policy about this. The policy is non-GNU systems are secondary, and lower priority than the GNU system, but we are glad to include support for them in GNU packages if users contribute the necessary code -- provided that code isn't a maintenance problem for us. The maintenainers of any particular package are the ones who judge whether that code is a maintenance problem, since they are the ones it would be a problem for. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
