What kinds of things would you want in the GNU OS?

One thing to think about including is the unix++ stuff that Felix Lee
and I have been advocating recently.  We have a 4.3 implementation
about half done now, so by the time GNU gets rolling there will be
some prior art to build upon.

[For those who missed it, unix++ virtualizes the file access system by
extending open() to include modes O_NONE, O_EXEC, and O_CHANGE, and by
adding system calls fchdir, fexec, etc.]
