The definition is too broad. *nix is about anything that is not
Windows. We should also mention supported CPU architectures.

Realistic we could support:

Windows
  Vista, Win 7, Win 8 on X86 and X86_64

Linux
  recent distributions on X86, X86_64 and ARM with GCC or clang.

FreeBSD
  X86 and X86_64

Mac OS X
  X86_64
