> David, what do you think? Ideally, sbase should achieve portability through a lack of system-dependent code. I think it might soon be important to create a ubase for ugly, unportable stuff. ifconfig, mount insmod, could live there. Perhaps that would be a better home for df? Everything else on the TODO looks like it should be completely portable.

In that situation, we may have to begin searching for lambs to sacrifice. If ubase becomes a reality, that will be the time to think about these kinds of problems.
