Didn't a number of the PC-based Unix "vendors" (including Linus himself)
get together recently and decide to work together on a common binary code
format?  Anyone have a reference for that?

I'll agree that it's usually politics and hubris that keep the BSD's from
merging more than anything else.  It doesn't mean there are bits and pieces
that couldn't be integrated, and that there wouldn't be benefit from doing so.
