Actually they will. Close examination of the branch will show lots
of "APPLE LOCAL" markers not normally seen in FSF mainline code. There
are some Apple features not there (for instance, CW-style asm, because
I'm working on moving it from 3.3 to 3.5 at this very moment), but I
think all the basics are there.
