Insightful.

Absolutely.
Here's a quick 'fact check' listing the library dependancies and weather or
not they currently support Linux, Sun, and Windows platforms:
Libary Linux Mac 9 Mac OSX Sun Windows
------ ----- ------ --------- ----- ---------
libsdl X X X X X
paragui X X X ? X
FreeType X X X X X
Zlib X ? ? ? X
libpng X X X X X
SDL_Image X X X X X
Expat X X X X X
OpenGL X X X X X
I was conservative. I'm pretty confident that Zlib is supported by Sun :).
Overall my impression is that ParaGUI is careful about cross-platform
compatibility.
Please modify as necessary.
