That's the reason I started to dislike Linux last few years - because 
it's "defacto" standart in open source/unix like OS world,
and their dev team act very much like MS dev team :(

In the wiki there is a page about how to avoid "linuxism". I think we 
have to mention this there.
It was the first place where I looked how to speed up hping. I think the 
info about gettimeofday (and replacements)
and the ENOBUFS situation have to be explained little more there.
I do not expect developers, that write programs for linux to read the 
FreeBSD wiki, but it will help people like me -
not very experienced in coding, to produce patches/ports without 
bothering too much advanced developers :)

It will be good if there are some examples too.
