Nate will have to decide on that.  Personally, having more than a
single column seems too gross.  I don't think DJGPP's libc has too
many functions whose Unix brethren differ between flavors of Unix, and
names like BSD and SysV will confuse people who don't know anything
about them (e.g., Linux is neither).
