Yeah. I have to agree with Ross. Increased unix-ness would be nice, but
additional complexity with no actual performance gain most definitely is
not.
That said, like the remote patch that I'll post sometime this weekend,
I'll take patches for whatever and post them if people want to.
I'd also like to (if people have things they'd like to contribute) open
up a contrib section for legOS programs that are cool or useful (and all
programs are useful, if for no other reason than as examples for other
people.) Anyone care to contribute code?
