Portability of server and clients

[dormando]

If you're having trouble building a specific client on a specific 
platform, you can contact the authors, mail the list, or try on irc at 
freenode. Even if a platform isn't supported yet, it's usually helpful 
for client authors to hear what platforms people are trying to use, so 
they may add support later.
