Hmmm. On many platforms, Linux supports running executables
from a different OS. For example:

x86       Xenix, OpenServer, UnixWare, Solaris  (module needed)
alpha     Tru64
sparc     Solaris

One could add:

ppc       Darwin

Then you have a drop-in replacement for that Mach+BSD crud,
and you can replace the sucky BSD tools as well. You get to
keep the Mac GUI and apps.
