ROFL. OSX just happens to use part of the (better: a) BSD kernel
and some of the system tools. Have a look at their dynamic linking
framework and learn ... or does FreeBSD support Frmaeworks and
/Home/Eric/Library/... (or was it NetBSD? OpenBSD?). Which of the
BSD network stacks did they snarf? I shure don't hope they used the
then_not_existing SMP for PPC :-)
