	Come on guys....  This has absolutly no relevance at ALL.  I can write a
new library for any of the given systems, and make it look like the best
or the worst.  Just because the orginators of each system choose a different
user level interface to the system, doesn't imply that any one is better
than the other DOES IT?????   The point is, you can hide anything you
want from the programmer, making it easier, or more difficult to use any
given feature (or bug for that matter).
