Well, there are some 'popular' mechanisms to handle the lack of
standardisation between different flavors of Unix. I'm sure I
don't need to explain those mechanisms to you ;-).

Why should a MINT-goes-UNIX-system be handled any different than a Sunos- or Solaris-system?
(except for the demand by some that all software must also run under
 Gemdos-only, which I don't support (it's useless running /etc/init,
 /etc/cron, /usr/etc/syslogd, ... under Gemdos) )
