People please lets go technical. Don't just say "I dislike it because
expect some potential breakage somewhere", lets write _in_detail_ what
_is_ currently not working for you as supposed.
So, gathering some real stats we can deside what to do at the next step.
Possible solutions are; provide env. variable for old bug-to-bug
compatibility or vice versa, activate new stuff under _POSIXLY_CORRECT
env. variable or provide warning for a while or provide #define and so on,
it depends on real picture.

Otherwise the whole discussion turns to be just ad hoc speculation
POSIX vs. BSD without any real ground.

Ports system is our main goal for now (and base, of course, in case I miss
something).
Thanx for cooperation.
