although i dont have any sourcecode to do an audit (nor would i want to 
given the number of semis required to haul a printed copy of the source for 
xp), i have read that the only bsd parts left in the windows nt line would 
be a handful of commandline utilities such as ftp.exe.  the tcpip stack is 
supposed to have been scrapped and rewritten somewhere along the line before 
xp hit the streets.

whilst im away lol)
