While all these are possible candidates, I think I agree with the Idea 
of building a CORE Component set first, and then applying it to the 
different OS's on a as-needed basis.

How much about these different OS's will be required to document do you 
think for development purposes, can we maybe start up a Basic list of 
capabilities required by each and go from there?
