Where I read:
OfficeCat is a command line utility that can be used to process
Microsoft Office Documents for the presence of potential exploit
conditions in the file.

The tool is used on Windows systems and is provided as a binary executable.

That unbuntu stuff is just some wine wrapper. So why not use the
original windows stuff and setup wine yourself.

Why they have choosen to do a windows only version is something
SourceFire might never answer. But I find it rather disturbing.
