Indeed, POSIX semantics for program function.  However the super-structure 
doesn't need all the bells and whistles, or even a modern 
environment.  Since the change needed for OS X is just a change in the test 
framework, and there's ample precedent for changing the framework because 
of portability issues, the needed changes were made.  So far as I know, 
bogofilter now does as well on OS X as it does on Linux, *BSD, Solaris, 
HP-UX, ...
