Since Haiku is much more POSIX compatible, it definitely makes sense to
go through every single BeOS specific code and see if it's still needed
that way. That's more or less the reason we decided to go with "haiku"
instead of "beos" anyway; while older ports will still work, it's
usually beneficial to report them - added benefit is even more POSIX
compliance when needed, and a simplified port on the other hand.
