Consider porting this to FreeBSD, Windows, etc. #9

I feel this is only supported on GNU/Linux. There's already a tree command in every major OS and shell. However, I would recommend that all software can be used on every OS. Consider making ports of ictree?

I cannot test it at the moment, but I think ictree should be able to get compiled on FreeBSD just fine. Regarding Windows, ictree is only useful in conjunction with other tools (like locate or find) and, as far as I know, there are no such tools on Windows.

If it works on FreeBSD, then will it work on similar systems (e.g. OpenBSD)?

I have no idea, I don't use those so I can't test them.

It would be awesome if someone running those system tested the program and told their experience here.

By the way, Windows has where instead of find. find on Windows actually searches in the file's text and is less used.
