If people think that Redhat's solution is one that should be considered -- Voice your opinion to the people who have the power to make the decision!
Personally, I am in support of allowing any company, group, or organization (except Microsoft) that wishes to donate software with accompanying support to do so. Microsoft should be limited to supplying compliant hardware. Microsoft should not be allowed to receive a "punishment" that will further their own monopoly.
PLEASE BE COURTEOUS. DON'T FLAME THEM!!!

I'm a professional developer who has been involved with high availability server architectures for the last two years. The group I was a part of was considering the exact same question, finding a cross platform library that supports a variety of sys call abstractions, when a friend who worked on Sun's Streaming Media server told us that they had used Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR). Since then I've used NSPR extensively for my work, as well as my hobbies. During the last two years it has grown into a very mature library.
NSPR has a simple unix-like API which supports a large number of system calls, including threads, process initialization, locks, conditional variables, monitors, file and network I/O, pipes, timers and time functions, memory management, string operations, floating point routines, long long integers, dynamic linking, IPC, Multi-wait I/O, environmental variables, logging, semaphores, and error handling.
Porting between platforms is nearly seamless (at least for the platforms I've tried). It works well with autoconf and gcc, M$ Visual Studio 6.0, cygwin, and Sun's C compiler (probably others but this is all I?ve used). I've used it personally on FreeBSD, Solaris, Linux, WinNT, and Win2k, and been very satisfied.
Also, unlike some of the more notoriously slow Mozilla technologies, such as XUL, NSPR has decently low memory and processor overhead.
Hi all, the LinuxBSM project was started as an initiative of the University of California at Davis to build an auditor that meets the government's C2 compliance standards. I was the original author of the project and have received help from several people in the open source community, including Jeremy Banford (my roommate) who did nearly a complete rewrite of a good percentage of the code. Unfortunately, the project has fallen by the wayside as I have now graduated and work fulltime (and doing a little bit of work on OpenOffice - shameless plug) However, every two years or so the topic pops up on/. again.
So I was wondering if there are a couple of people out there that might be interested in helping with the project. If so I'd certain begin developing again.

Perhaps we could /. this person instead
