The include file syscall.h is missing from the 9.0.020 release of
Domain/IX.  Is it available in 9.2?  Is there any alternative
way of calling Unix "system" functions without using their names?
A number of transparent file access schemes rely on overriding
read, write, and so forth, and use syscall to perform those
functions internally.  Any way to do this under Domain?

Please don't tell me to use extensible streams -- they are hardly
portable to vanilla Unix systems.
