    Description

      The src/os/solaris and src/os/linux directories contain quite a lot of duplicate code.
      A tiny start has been made by abstracting the launcher for both into src/os/posix, but
      as much refactoring between solaris and linux as possible should be done. The use of 'posix' as a directory name is perhaps a bit unfortunate, because it implies that
      only posix-compliant code should exist there, when in fact much of the common code
      between solaris and linux isn't posix-related or posix-compliant. We might create a 'unix'
      os directory to contain the solaris/linux common code. We should also take into account
      BSD and OSX in the refactoring process.
