So long as lout's memory requirements can be satisfied, I'd think that
lout has the potential to be even more portable that TeX. It already
ports effortlessly to most unix systems, but there seems little to tie
it to that environment. It may never go on a 80286 PC with 512k of
memory, but who cares :-)

I haven't gone through the code, but perhaps Jeff can comment.

Of course Jeff may have no interest in working on ports, but may be
prepared to roll in diffs of clean ports others can put together.
