[MiNT] Incorporating other calls into the kernal

[atari@bright.net (Lonny Pursell)]

For sometime I've wanted do some mintnet socket coding but since
all of the socketdev stuff is in 'C' I had real troubles.  At
one point I started to port some of it but a few of the calls 
are more than I can port, so I gave up.   I've seen some
discussion of moving some socket calls to the kernal?  Could
the socket cails that are more than simple calls to /device/socket
also be moved to the kernal?

This would open the doors to coders that use pascal, modula, and
asm and so on to make mintnet apps.  I find it ironic that someone
the knows asm like the back of their hand, has exactly the same
problem I have here.

Keep in mind I don't know linux, what's common amoungst kernals,
or what it would even take to move these calls.  It's just
a suggestion I felt the need to express.  It might be
totally off the wall.  ;-)
