It's super preliminary, but basically a nice little bash script that runs every few minutes to tell you what's going on in your FA account. It's written mostly in bash with a little python and ruby to dump the cookies it needs, so technically it should run on any *NIX system (although Ubuntu is the only one I can think of that comes with notify-osd). It will also work on Mac OS X using growl to spawn the notifications. Cookies can be imported using Firefox and Safari (still have to test); chrome for some reason won't dump the right authentication cookies =/. I'll be releasing the source code soon for anyone who wants it.

Eventually. Unfortunately there's no unified way that windows provides to display notifications in the way that notify-osd and growl does.
For windows though I'll probably end up using a port of the Zenity program, which although has support for libnotify, this feature does not really work as it requires a "notification daemon", and there isn't one that works in windows [yet]. So the notifications may not be as... elegant. It'll be worth a go any ways though.

To answer the questions:
Yes, I did get it into a basic working state. It does take a bit of configuration but it's pretty simple. Just read the README.
It is actually written using some clever bash scripting, and all binaries are included in the distribution.
The code also runs on Mac, Linux, and Windows with no modifications (select the appropriate package)
However, due to changes in FA I'm almost certain the script is broken at the moment. Due to the lack of an official API, this is prone to breaking whenever FA makes a major site change. Luckily that doesn't happen often, so I'll go ahead and fix the script and send you a note when it's ready.

I cannot confirm that the newest major version of growl works with this script. Otherwise everything else checks out, so you can be my first beta tester! ^^
