Hi, Nate.
I think it would be better to make the above comment not specific to OS
X, but instead just refer to "systems that have a built-in util library"
or similar. For example, NetBSD has a built-in util library [1]. I
don't have access to a FreeBSD system, but it looks like FreeBSD might
have a built-in util library too [2].
Similarly for the one-line commit summary since this change is not
specific to OS X.
Regards,
Lewis
