Sort of.  I'm currently writing a big virtual world thing using toybox as
the base.  I'm doing that coz toybox does a lot of the stuff I need, and
I'm hoping I can just call toybox functions instead of shelling out to
run commands.  I'd rather use one common set of POSIX compliant things
that I know works coz I bring them with me and test them, rather than
whatever shell stuff may or may not be on the users computer.

I do want to be cross platform, so eventually I'll be building for and
testing under macOS (as well as Windewwws).  Just not right now.  When I
do I'll update my Mac to be a proper dev box for what ever is current Mac
stuff at the time.  That's what I got my Mac for in the first place,
doing virtual world development.  But that was client side, I stopped
doing that to work on server side for a while.

Development is under Devuan Linux for now.
