It would be useful to a developer with a MacBook laptop or similar so
that he could develop away from his office. Also university students. It
would be moderately useful to me. I'm not sure how big the market is for
IDS on OSX server.

I suppose the question could be "why not?" if it's doesn't take too much
developer time to port across.
