Vampire should not need a great deal of platform-specific code. This is a tracking issue to remove as much as possible, and make what we absolutely need as cross-platform as we can.
We currently use platform-specific code:
I'm currently looking at whether we can remove the memory allocator and the semaphores. Watch this space!
