I'd like to keep aligned with the latest "stable" release of Fred.

For now, I'm pretty much ignoring Win32 and other non-UNIXy systems.
I'm using glib-1.2 though, and I'm making an effort to mark non-portable
functions as such, so somebody with win32 experience should be able to
port Reiska when it's ready for general consumption.  I've wrapped
the multithreading in a "create_thread / do_apocalypse" type function pair,
which shouldn't be that hard to port (especially if there's a viable
pthreads implementation for win32).

Unfortunately.
