HAL looks ( http://freedesktop.org/pipermail/hal/2004-June/000421.html
) to be fairly
portable. There is a difference between BEING linux-specific and
HAVING linux-specific
parts when compiled in Linux. That's like saying that Linux isn't
portable because it has i386-specific code when run on i386.
