Someday, get me drunk and ask me how hard abi compatibility is.  :-(  I 
hate how we did it, and I hate that it was necessary.  I hate that 
bools on darwin are 4 bytes, because _Bool is 4 bytes, and once set, is 
set in stone.

Maybe in the future we'll have so much CPU and disk space and RAM that 
we can dispense with hard, inflexible abis...  I''m gonna go off and 
hold my breath now...


Oh, and we already bought into a fixed libstdc++.dylib, so there's lots 
more fun and magic awaiting us.
