Sure; I'm just perpetually annoyed that nobody uses weak symbols in 
system libs. If they did, it would make stuff like this a whole lot easier.

Off hand, sure.

Although I don't know if that funky Sun license will be any more or less 
acceptable than whatever your previous proposal was.

Dunno. My inclination is to try and make a thing correct for as many 
things as I know about without regard to anything else. Or turn it 
around and make if #if defined(GF_BSD_HOST_OS) || 
defined(GF_DARWIN_HOST_OS), Either way, please use the appropriate 
GLUSTER GF_*_HOST_OS feature test. You'll get what you need and if/when 
someone else tries to make it work on something else it'll be one less 
thing they need to do.
