Basic unix types

Overview

The BaseUnixunit was implemented by Marco Van de Voort. It contains basic unix functionality. It supersedes the Linux unit of version 1.0.X of the compiler, but does not implement all functionality of the linux unit.

People that have code which heavily uses the old Linuxunit, can simply change linuxby oldlinuxin the usesclause of their projects, but they should really consider moving to the Unixand BaseUnixunits.

For porting FPC to new unix-like platforms, it should be sufficient to implement the functionality in this unit for the new platform.
