I thought the Mach goo was starting to be separated out into its own  
gooey file? :)

You mention it being more work to keep the artificial division, but I  
though the "division" was one of the goals of making launchd "more"  
open source? To allow for (namely me :P) the community to start  
adapting launchd to other non-Mach (and thus no wonderful MIG)  
systems, like FreeBSD. From my understanding _unix_ipc.c and  
_mach_ipc.c weren't too "relevant" in terms of offering different IPC  
implementations, but I was under the impression that further down the  
line I would be throwing pure unix sockets (or otherwise) IPC into  
the former for FreeBSD/OpenBSD/etc while the majority of launchd IPC  
on Darwin remained tied to Mach ports?

Besides, its a Sunday, tsk tsk, working on a sunday ;)
