+    oslSocketAddr is a pointer to a Berkeley struct sockaddr.
+    I refrained from using sockaddr_in because of possible further
+    extensions of this socket-interface (IP-NG?).
+    The intention was to hide all Berkeley data-structures from
+    direct access past the osl-interface.
+
+    The current implementation is internet (IP) centered. All
+    the constructor-functions (osl_create...) take parameters
+    that will probably make sense only in the IP-environment
+    (e.g. because of using the dotted-address-format).
+
+    If the interface will be extended to host other protocol-
+    families, I expect no externally visible changes in the
+    existing functions. You'll probably need only new
+    constructor-functions who take the different address
+    formats into consideration (maybe a long dotted address
+    or whatever).

+ *     - use _POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING, not NO_PTHREAD_PRIORITY (?)
+ *     - POSIX doesn't require defined prio's for SCHED_OTHER (!)
+ *     - use SCHED_RR instead of SCHED_OTHER for defined behaviour (?)
+ * (2) 'oslThreadIdentifier' and '{insert|remove|lookup}ThreadId()'
+ *     - cannot reliably be applied to 'alien' threads;
+ *     - memory leak for 'alien' thread 'HashEntry's;
+ *     - use 'reinterpret_cast<unsigned long>(pthread_t)' as identifier
+ *       instead (?)
+ *     - if yes, change 'oslThreadIdentifier' to 'intptr_t' or similar
+ * (3) 'oslSigAlarmHandler()' (#71232#)
+ *     - [Under Solaris we get SIGALRM in e.g. pthread_join which terminates
+ *       the process. So we initialize our signal handling module and do
+ *       register a SIGALRM Handler which catches and ignores it]
+ *     - should this still happen, 'signal.c' needs to be fixed instead.

+    oslSocketAddr is a pointer to a Berkeley struct sockaddr.

+    The intention was to hide all Berkeley data-structures from
+    direct access past the osl-interface.
+
+    The current implementation is internet (IP) centered. All
+    the constructor-functions (osl_create...) take parameters
+    that will probably make sense only in the IP-environment
+    (e.g. because of using the dotted-Addr-format).
+
+    If the interface will be extended to host other protocol-
+    families, I expect no externally visible changes in the
+    existing functions. You'll probably need only new
+    constructor-functions who take the different Addr
+    formats into consideration (maybe a long dotted Addr
