Seems like we don't have a lot of options other than porting the
bootstrap forward and I am not sure that all operating systems will stay
with us.  I'd actually be more comfortable with regard to licensing
clarity to move the MacOSX bootstrap to OpenDarwin, but I seem to
remember that OpenDarwin more or less is dead due to Apple not keeping
their promises.
