I've started taking a look at this -- for Linux lack of mach ports/messages 
shouldn't be a problem, as I have those either disabled or replaced by 
portable substitutes (such as mach semaphores -> POSIX semaphores).  However, 
libdispatch makes heavy use of kqueue and a substitute will have to be 
identified.  Ideally, one that doesn't leave libdispatch in a giant mess :-).
