Hi Magnus,

Overall this seems okay.

That could have repercussions elsewhere. sawindbg.dll is probably a well 
known name for deployment systems.

Right - we could have deleted that when our ARM ports went open.

The deleted OSX files seem okay. This just seems like another case where 
the original port copied every Linux file across to the bsd directory.

Not sure about the Solaris saproc_audit.cpp or the test.c files ??
