It really depends.
In some situations it might be better to rename files and have
completely new implementations for new OS "flavor" ports (eg, Windows
-vs - POSIX) just like we do for natFileDescriptor.
This is particularly desirable when the code in question already has a
lot of preprocessor stuff in it -- at some point splitting it up is
just cleaner.
