I'd be happy to do that, except someone didn't believe in coding for
non-linux OS's and I happen to use solaris. If I can spare some time
today, I'll tear apart the code and see if I can put something
portable together, in the meantime I (and thousands of others) can't
contribute to the index.

Coding specifically for linux and excluding all other OS's is
just as bad as coding specifically for windows.
