379	Generate POSIX errno Constants	chromatic	whiteknight	"There's no easy way in Parrot right now to refer to EPERM, EAGAIN, EINTR, and other POSIX errno constants as constants (see the err i, i opcode, for example).  The ability to do so would help us write more portable code that doesn't rely on hard-coded magic numbers or the hope of matching against the output of strerror().

It would be trivial to write a short configuration-process file which runs a C program to generate a PASM file with these values.  It's a quick task to do, but connecting it to the right place in the configuration process might be a little trickier."	RFC	closed	normal		configure		medium	wontfix		jkeenan			all
