I will jump in here and add a few cents worth of comments. We have IDL
installed on most platforms one could think of; my main development
platform is my iBook but I had been planning to move over to my
dual-processor G4 running OSX (sigh). The Linux version of IDL (which
would most resemble the proposed port) is quite workable and the X
interface is based on the window manager one is running. There are some
nice ones out there (including Gnome!) that have been ported to OSX and
are available via fink. In fact, this is the primary benefit of OSX being
based upon BSD unix. I have had terrible luck getting my IDL software to
print from the Linux version, but ymmv. I worry most about symmetric
multiprocessing and AltiVec support from the IDL BSD unix port (I had
hoped to blow away all my Linux friends with OSX benchmarks).

Bottom line: if RSI is serious about this port, then I support it and will
reconsider cancelling my maintanence.
