I was unable to get it to work on either Windows or Ubuntu. There were
at least two independent bugs on Windows, one was a segfault. After I
reported them one got fixed, but it just exposed another bug, and I
lost interest.
I tried it this year on Ubuntu and it didn't work either. Don't
remember the exact problem, but it I think it couldn't find the
runtime, or something like that.
At the time I got the feeling that *nobody* was using it, and that it
didn't work at all, except on the developer's own system.
Have things changed?
