I decided to wait some time to allow the more popular ports to
'shake out' and then try to understand the module.

Being a non-Unix person it is not always apparent to me what
value is supposed to be returned from the different functions.

It also looks like I need to do some enhancements in the OpenVMS
port - e.g. it's currently missing uname() support.
