[M3devel] [M3commit] CVS Update: cm3

[Tony Hosking]

This new file FilePosixC.c does not build on my SOLgnu Tinderbox  
setup, so the regressions failed last night.

Jay, this is precisely the reason that we don't want to have C-coded  
files in the Modula-3 code-base -- C might proclaim its portability  
but that portability is a lie.  Why do we need this when the old pure  
Modula-3 setup worked just fine!  I know it meant some amount of  
duplication, but that duplication was needed because of differences in  
API specs on different platforms.  I am not averse to having  
*portable* C code, but in this case I think it is too low-level to be  
properly portable.  Perhaps better to keep it in Modula-3.
