The problem with this is the system dependent include files
(in /usr/include/sys).  To reproduce them we would have to have
access to the source (the ones in the development package).  Any
re-entering of the same data would probably constitute a violation
of the copyright on them.

Again, the problem (other than time and effort) would be the system 
calls.  We could probably gleam this stuff with some close analysis 
of the kernel (to avoid any copyright stuff).
