I don't want to rearrange things that much, but I could provide an
icon to denote which POSIX option, if applicable.  I do agree that we
should decide on which options to focus on, so that we don't waste
developer time on the non-essentials.

I'd like a little more input on which options we'd like to support.  I
think we should support: AIO - Asynchronous Input and Output, CD -
C-Language Development Utilities, FSC - File Synchronization, IP6 -
IPV6, MF - Memory Mapped Files, MLR - Range Memory Locking, MPR -
Memory Protection, SD - Software Development Utilities, UP - User
Portability Utilities.

I'm not up-to-date with threads development, but I suspect we'll
provide at least THR - Threads with libkse.

I think we'll have good support for OB - Obsolescent, and XSI -
Extention, but I don't think these should be officially supported.

Are there comments about my choices?

Best regards,
Mike Barcroft
