More importantly (to me, anyway), all the source files of Linux/XXX
and Linux/YYY and ... Linux/ZZZ are organized in a single source
tree? I absolutely don't want to maintain TWO ENTIRELY SEPARATE
SOURCE TREES when I have XXX and YYY both running Linux. With NetBSD,
ONE SINGLE SOURCE TREE is shared by all the supported platforms.
