swarm support (was compare swarm with repast)

[Jacobo Myerston]

One of the problems of swarm, in my opinion, is portability. Swarm is in 
some way  windows and redhat-centric (installing swarm in other linux 
distribution is not easy anymore), for this reason the swarm community 
is making no use of the advances that other platforms  offer.  I think 
the macosx port of swarm should be crucial for the SDG, because 
Objetive-C is also the native programming language of osx  (Objective-C 
is no longer an ancient programming language only used by swarm 
programmers). Nevertheless no main swarm-developer has showed interest 
in the macosx-port.
