I have a MIDI in and out on Windows, but not on Linux. I would be willing to
do the coding, but I would not be able to test it on either Linux except
with a MIDI yoke, and I could not test it on OS X at all.

I think PortMIDI has been worked on recently and is well worth
investigating.

But how well is MIDI working in Csound right now on the different platforms?

PD is quite useful for those wanting to test midi i/o on both windows 
and linux. We have had loopbacks without using hardware going between PD 
and csound on both platforms. Pretty easy to write convenient testing 
patches in PD as well ( ie displaying all throughput on screen, or 
automatically sending midi messages on mouse clicks, etc. )
