i have found porting well written Unix
code to native plan 9 (libc.h, 8[cl] etc)
to be straightforward.  the main exceptions
are socket calls but since those involve deleting
lots of ugly lines of code, it's satisfying, and since
they mainly involve call setup with the I/O the
same read/write after that, it's not too hard.
the compilers sometimes pick up
old problems that were lurking though.

Okay, problem solved.  The Plan9 native headers can
certainly do whatever Rob and crew think is best.
We already know that it is non-trivial to port much
non-Plan9 code to Plan9-native and vice versa.
