i like the idea.  i have considered it for a while (however i was
thinking there should just be an osi/ tree somewhat like afs/ rx/)

how crossplatform? there are some things that are duplicated (or near
enough that i think they could be merged/shared) between the rx and
afs (the mutex code for instance) code.  while these would have a
common api, they wouldnt be cross platform without some
ifdef/os-specific files.
