You can peek at it for structures and types. But even then, since they are 5
year old, you need to check them against current versions in the headers.

IMHO it shouldn't have been added to SVN, no file from that dir is reusable
as it is.

While the current 2.x implementation of the unix rtl are based on the ideas
behind the 1.0.x BeOS and QNX ports, the implementation is different and 5
years further evolved.

The Solaris port would be IMHO the best to base an initial version on, it is
a less complicated port as e.g. FreeBSD or Linux.
