there's no reason the wii remote library wouldn't work under linux, if 
the HID library supported it.
So I can probably steal some code from that other, Linux wii remote 
library later and set it up in the HID library... but that's not my 
primary concern.
I want to get the wiimote library  more featureful, and it needs a bit 
more abstraction, and then I'll work on getting it set up on Linux too.
But like I said, feel free to add that support yourself if you want, it 
shouldn't be difficult.
Let me know if you do want to do this, and I can let you know when a 
working version of the rest of the library is set up.
I'm fairly certain I'll have Linux and Mac compatibility in the next few 
weeks, if no one else feels like doing it
(luckily I have a friend with a Macbook, so I should be able to bum it 
off him a few days to test the mac code), but I can't guarantee it :D
I'll probably do the mac support before Linux, since when school ends 
he'll move back home, but I can easily get access to linux whenever I want.
I know you all probably hate me for doing Linux last :P but it works out 
better for me this way.
