able to run on all of these platforms.

+But please note that two things:
+1. Don't use the poll() IO API
+
+The poll() API function is not fully implemented by SFU/SUA and therefore
+can't be used by ngIRCd -- which normally would be the default. Please see
+<http://www.suacommunity.com/faqs.aspx> section 4.25 for details:

"If you do try to use the poll() API your program will block on the
API call forever. You must direct your program to build using the
select() API."
ngIRCd then defaults to using the select() API function which works fine.
+2. Use GNU make(1)
+
+Starting with ngIRCd 18, our build system doesn't work with the default
+make(1) binary of Interix, you should use GNU make instead (tested with
+version 3.82 built from source).
