It definitely works on Linux and MacOS. I've seen ports for *BSD.
I think any unix-like OS-es should work fine.

In fact, only syscalls it does on its own are gettimeofday() and poll()
[or select()], otherwise it calls either core or libpq functions.
So I see no reason why it shouldnt already work on Windows.

The biggest portability problem thus far has been scanner.l, which at
the beginning was written for flex 2.5.33+, but 2.5.4 is still pretty
widespread. But this I fixed in 2.0.3.

Hmm.. Now that I think about it, in my effort to remove malloc() calls
in both scanner and parser I told bison to use alloca(). Is it portability
concern? Easy to fix, just need to be careful not to create memleaks.
