I don't know enough about this either, but it does appear to be 
suggesting that rather than using the official Apple headers (which 
define things that cause collisions elsewhere) we make more local 
(re)definitions of system structs etc so that we don't need the system 
headers at all...

Now, I know we kinda do that already, but it still makes me nervous... I 
know that I've been caught out before by Apple (and others) changing the 
internal details of system structs and so forth...

The specific use-case called up, that of buioding on OSX using a 
non-Apple GCC, how common is that? Is that something that is done a lot? 
I've never felt the need to build my own GCC on my OSX boxes, so it's 
not clear to me what benefit that would bring.
