As someone who was intimately involved in the creation of scripts.dll on Linux and in the decision to axe Linux support, I can provide some info:
Firstly, scripts.dll supported Linux all the way up to scripts 3.4.4.
And secondly, the reason we made the decision to drop Linux support was because few people actually used it (due to the aforementioned Linux FDS suckiness) and because it was/is difficult to keep all the patches, changes, hacks and stuff working on Linux due to the big differences in the way Linux works compared to Windows.
That said, if (hypothetically) at some point in the future we decided to support the Linux FDS again, I would definatly do things differently...
