Portage is also used by "Prefix", as I mentioned above, to run on any
Linux system (e.g. for unprivileged use on HPC clusters where it is more
flexible and up-to-date than the Linux distribution's package manager).
Also on macOS and Solaris.
And probably could be verified for use on other Unixes if there was
sufficient interest. HP-UX, AIX, Interix, WinNT (!!!), FreeBSD, OpenBSD,
NetBSD all used to be supported, even if dead for ~10 years due to
interested stakeholders retiring.
