Alas, the one I use "Jammer" and another great tool "Onyx" are Windows only. 
So is BIAB. These are all paid products, not opensource or gnu. There is 
little motivation to port this stuff. Not enough customer demand outside 
Windows.

I will try gmorgan if I can get it compiled but I am still stuck in Windows 
for this type of work and like to remain so for the foreseeable future.
