Grrrr.  Don't get me started.  That there is no common file system for all of
Unix is unfortunate.  That Linux and *BSD have no common file system is tragic.
That the Intel-based 4.4BSD variants have no common filesystem is inexcusable.

Actually, there is a common filesystem for all of these.  They can all use
the DOS FAT file system.  Great.
