I looked at the os_<unix-like-platform> code and while there's 
commonality, there wasn't enough to lump it in one big task together.  
And that's the kind of thing that will never get done. Kim has filed 
some separate RFEs for duplication found, and I think we should do it 
piecemeal.  It used to be that the whole os_unix files were duplicated 
but that's not the case anymore.  There should be an RFE for this 
specific item to consolidate.
