On the other hand, its not like we don't already *have* a C
library. This means that producing an emulation library is a question
of "fixing" that C library to deal with the (often minor) differences
in functionality, and then producing a shared library of the proper OS
flavor out of it.

This is hard, but not extremely hard. I would say, in fact, that for
"close" operating systems like BSDI it is very feasible.
