Right, the common parts needs to be OS agnostic if they aren't already.
It helps a lot that we use glib here, btw.

I think it might be helpful to specify exactly where and what the
problems are, cause I don't see anything OS-specific in hald/*.[ch]

 [davidz at daxter hald]$ pwd
 /home/davidz/Hacking/hal/hald
 [davidz at daxter hald]$ grep linux *.[ch]
