    I am using mach4 as my os for my project i just wanted to know, if mach uses
    a lot of bsd code to emulate unix funcionality, then would porting bsd code
    be a simple case of just dropping it in, or does it actually require some
    rewrite, i mean according to the mach4 page netbsd is capbable of just
    dropping in mach4 microkernel:

    Easy-to-install Mach distribution: In order to attract more people from the
    Linux/BSD crowd, we really need someone to put together an easy-to-install
    Mach+Lites or (when it's mature enough) Mach+Hurd binary distribution. This
    distribution might be just an add-on supplement to an existing
    monolithic-kernel distribution, or it could be an entirely separate
    distribution with a whole new set of binaries. Of course, a simple add-on to
    an existing distribution is likely to be simpler and more popular, so we
    should try to go with that approach if at all possible. (Mach+Lites on the
    i386 is already pretty close to being a drop-in NetBSD kernel replacement.)
