	[ML]  I'm afraid you are not getting it.

	I was actually commending IBM/AIX on its good taste in choice of
source bits (i.e. ours and NetBSD's) and actually acknowledging that (by
not removing the RCS id lines).

	If it weren't for the funky executable/shared-library format and
toolchain, I'd actually like it a lot (where did it get that from?
OS/2--AFAIR OS/2 had DLL's before AIX got them).
