: 	common-freebsd	general freebsd stuff
: 	i386-common	OS-independent i386 stuff
: 	common-unix	things common to Unix-like systems

Why not go with a directory structure that looks like the one
in for example glibc?  Example:
  
        unix/                things common to Unix-like systems
        unix/linux/          general linux stuff
        unix/linux/i386      machine-specific linux stuff
        ...
        i386/                OS-independent i386 stuff

Of course, in glibc all these dirs are located in sysdeps/
I think the "common" suffix and prefix make it too messy.
And why not "unix-common" instead of "common-unix"? i386-linux
vs linux-i386?
