Will no preprocessor symbols defined the main source will compile
perfectly on VMS, the vms/ subdirectory will go, replaced with unix/
and there will be lots of ported bits wrapped with

#ifdef (UNIX)
#endif

You might even get approval from some prominent non-VMS fans provided there's
a linux/ directory that only contains instructions on how to install BSD
