In regard to kernel design, I would propose that we adopt an MS-Mach 
(multiserver, not Microsoft) like approach, albeit with kernel space 
"servers" as kernel addons. Thus, we could have an fs module that 
handles file desrciptors, etc, a posix module, etc., etc., etc. This 
would accomplish two things:

1. Prevent forking the NewOS kernel. Travis has said that he opposes 
the intodruction of posix to his kernel. So we don't, we add it as a 
kernel module.

2. It vastly increases the future flexibility of the kernel.
