We do not have them completed only some proposals for them.  You could 
author packages like these with the framework today, but currently dont 
have 'pre-packaged' ones.  We are working on them.

Win32 client, simply download the forms binary and run the .exe, you 
will need to edit your connections.conf file and possibly download a 
driver for you backend, but that is all there is to it.  GNU\Linux 
clients are 'slightly' more difficult as you must obtain the 
dependencies first.

On GNU\Linux for forms wxPython, wxGTK, Python, PyXML and a data driver 
of choice.  On windows all dependencies are included in the install.

I believe the install instructions are in the README/INSTALL of the 
packages as well.
