Another platform? This means that I can use Solaris STREAMS modules
e.g. on SINIX or UnixWare? Hard to believe..
The price for this is standstill.

Hmm? Linux' modules system is very mature compared against the LKM
crazyness of the BSDs. Regarding the /usr/include/* differences -
I hope you don't want to introduce mbufs in Linux ;) glibc goes further
into the Single Unix compliance direction, but even libc5 isn't that bad.
I usually find all the BSD extensions much more annyoing during ports.
