not really.  the better way would be to have a single LINUX tree.
it is annoying to have a fork for essentially what is the same kernel.
while darwin/macosx changed the filesystem significantly from 10.3 to 10.4
we didnt fork the tree there.  but i agree with the others that the linux
code is an ifdef mess (which is partly my fault i imagine).  it doesnt
bother me much, but i did start using syntax highlighting because of it.
