Yes, but I was talking about the color coding: how to
show it on the website, not how to keep track of it.
Deciding which color to use if an item runs on exactly
two platforms. Do you go with the more common one:
  if it_runs_on (Win) then
    color = Win_color -- Blue
  elsif it_runs_on (Dos) then
    color = Dos_color -- Pink
  elsif it_runs_on (Linux) then
    color = Lin_color
  end if

the least comon one: just backwards from above,
or in the order the platforms were implemented?
or different colors for the combinations:
  Dos = Pink    -- same as now
  Win = Blue    -- same as now
  Linux = Green -- same as now
  Dos_Win = Purple
  Dos_Linux = Orange --or Yellow?
  Win_Linux = Cyan

or Kenneth's rainbow color scheme idea which would be a bit
dificult I think but more intuitive for the user.

later,
