*************From Quantum on Fri. Sept. 15 ************
Granted, using #ifdef OS2 throughout may not be the best way either ... we
should be open to other ideas for maintaing a common base with the least
inconvenience to ourselves.  For example, writing wrappers around some
OS/2 functions to create Solaris look-alike functions -- like in the area
of process management or interprocess communications.  These could be
placed in a common library that we link with.  Neither me nor Jon has the
final solution ... it maybe a conglomeration of the two, or it may be
completely different.  Anyone else have ideas in this area? 
**************

I like the idea of a common library and wrapping OS/2 primitives into the 
runtime API, at least. Very likely multiple libraries will be needed. I assume 
that these #ifdef statements are in the machine-dependant code.
