Notice that for both amiga and mac, all libparted based solution should just do. I will probably add some missing amiga related features (boot priority setting mostly and amiga filesystem creation) in the near future. There is still the problem of atari partition tables, but i know nothing of those, nor do i have the hardware for it. I could implement it if i was given access to documentation, and someone with actual hardware would test it for me. I don't know what partitioning scheme the other m68k subarches use.
