BeOS port is dead. I'm about to ditch the code.
We have plenty of tools on Linux, and MacOS X feature some. For your
information we run AbiWord under Valgrind on a regular basis, even on
PowerPC Linux, and on Mac, I myself did it when I have time and RAM, and
will soon do again as I resumed development on this platform.
That said, thank you for your science, we never denied the need for
these tools, nor never declined to use them, when we can.
But that is not the point. The point is that complaining is not
constructive. Complaining is just a waste of time.
