OK.. I'll try again.  Mac OS X Server (available now) and Mac OS X
(available later this year) are composed of BSD Unix with more-or-less, the
traditional Mac OS GUI grafted onto the front-end.  All of
the standard BSD Unix things should already be available as part of
the operating system because it ***IS*** Unix.  Therefore, having
a second flavor of Unix (MachTen) running concurrently should be
unnecessary.  A large effort as was required to do convince gcc that it
is running in a Unix environment, as was required with Win32, should
also be unnecessary because there already is a Unix environment.

I talked to some folks on here last year about this before Mac OS X
Server was available and a port had not been done yet.  However, I
thought that I would check in again, just in case things had changed.
