Good call. My problem is that I don't think that anyone would ever even try
to say the words POSIX and Ixemul in the same sentence (Ixemul is the Unix
style emulation that is most popular for AmigaOS) :-)

Ok, this sounds like a way to do it when I figure out how to use automake :)

Well, the only concern was the size of the package.

Oki, could be done. I just felt when I started my work that I didn't want
to interfere too much with the rest of you since I had to do some pretty
strange things to get things running.
Since I need custom startup code anyway, moving gettimeofday into the
Syscall interface wont make a difference since I can have it in my own
startup code anyway.

As soon as I get the shell related problems with the current build figured
out I'll start thinking of a way to resort this.

A question somewhat related to this:
What happens with JNI? I mean if I use IO in a C function linked using JNI,
will it use the Syscall interface?
