Hi all,

Some time ago, I got a rudimentary version of a GNU/Linux-compatible
"sys/xattr.h" module working on my Mac. (For those unfamiliar with the
trivia involved, Mac OS includes eight of the twelve xattr functions
natively, but with extra parameters that simultaneously render them
not directly compatible while obviating the need for the other four.)

I didn't finish developing it at the time because I wasn't sure where
I should send it so people could use it; or, for that matter, whether
anyone WOULD want to use it when it only works on Mac OS.

Is this a thing that anyone would want submitted to GNUlib? If so,
what is the correct way to do so for a partial solution of this
nature?  (It makes packages that rely on those Linux calls
Mac-OS-compatible, but because it is just glue code that monkeys with
the Linux calls to make them understandable as native OS calls, it
can't help on any other non-GNU platforms).

Sincerely,
Gordon Steemson
