Glad to hear that :-)

The plan is definitely to develop client software to support the major
Unix variants (*BSD, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, possible AIX - these are
the ones I need to support myself). 

A Windows client is a rather different beast. It would definitely be
very useful, but I haven't done any real programming in the Windows
environment for almost 10 years, so it's not something that I would
just do.

Developing a Unix client is "only" a matter of getting enough free
time to actually do it. Right now, the focus is on the server side
since that really needs to be in place before working on clients makes
any sense.

We're working on it.
