Most of ETS is being developed, tested, and run on Windows, Mac, and  
Linux every day.  We now have eggs for windows and mac and some  
flavors of linux (fedora, ubuntu).  Long ago we factored out Chaco's  
underlying drawing layer into a package called Kiva.  Kiva has Agg- 
based backends for wxWindows on X11 and Win32, and a native Quartz  
backend for wxWindows on OS X.  There is also a PIL-based non- 
interactive raster backend.  Kiva's PS, PDF, SVG, and GL backends  
could all use a little love, but they were functioning at one point  
in time.
