I would like to see this driver in the RTEMS tree and hopefully
implemented
in a libchip style so other BSPs can use it as well.

I don't have the instructions handy but this is in the mailing list
archives.  There is a registry setting to make NT/Win2K do the right

The snapshot tools work with snapshots, release tools with release.
There was a re-org of some POSIX .h files between RTEMS and newlib so 
we shared as much as possible with other targets.  This occurred after
