Perhaps as the only change for rc-1.6? What if we wrote rc to posix (or UNIX(tm) if posix isn't enough) and removed as much of the #ifdef's as possible. Then, on systems without posix support, we could create a posix library for that operating system. Only covering the missing posix calls that rc uses, ofcourse. Has this kind of thing been done before and failed? Comments/Suggestions/xxx. (I have done this for some code that run's under 3 similar real time OS's and like the result. But then I don't like #ifdef).
