I will make sure it is not needed. In this case, we can keep the original
patch from Damjan and just do some trivial changes. I can make them quickly
before RC3.

Yes patches to remove duplicated code are welcome. But please do not
introduce more #ifdefs. I think it is better to keep separate directories
bsdapp/ and linuxapp/ while increasing the shared code in common/ as
much as possible.
Some functions are really different and are better handled separately.

Maybe that OS X would deserve a third separate directory.
I guess you wanted it only for dev testing?
Why not just use a Linux or FreeBSD VM?
